2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DF72 EEH

The latest MOT test conducted on 20 October 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of testing, the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards required by the DVSA. Based on this recent outcome, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle's primary safety components, such as lighting, steering, and braking systems, were in good working order at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 28,074 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,018 miles. This is considered moderate to low mileage for a Nissan Qashqai, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy mechanical strain associated with high-mileage or heavy-duty use. This usage profile is generally favourable for the longevity of consumable components like the drivetrain and suspension, though it necessitates a closer look at components that can degrade due to time and environmental exposure rather than just distance. As the MOT history is clean and the mileage is relatively low, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to UV exposure and age even if the tread depth remains high. Check for any uneven wear patterns that could suggest geometry or alignment issues. Given the e-Power hybrid configuration, it is also prudent to verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as infrequent use can lead to slow discharge and eventual failure in hybrid systems. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs and check for any brake shudder or binding calipers, which can result from surface corrosion on the discs if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Because maintenance on modern vehicles is often dictated by time as much as mileage, you should verify the service history to ensure that essential fluids, such as brake fluid and engine oil, have been replaced according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals. Confirm that the service book is correctly stamped to ensure that preventative maintenance has been consistently applied throughout the vehicle's life.
