2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP13 ASH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Based on this recent inspection, the maintenance trend for this Nissan Qashqai appears stable, indicating that the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. Given the vehicle's relatively young age, the lack of recorded failures suggests that the fundamental structural integrity and safety systems have been maintained to a satisfactory level. The recorded mileage of 9,188 miles over a three-year period represents an exceptionally low annual usage rate of approximately 3,063 miles. While this indicates minimal mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components, such low mileage can often be indicative of the vehicle being used for short trips or spending extended periods stationary. This usage profile means that while the mechanical components may have low wear, they may also be subject to the effects of inactivity, such as fluid degradation or component seizure. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than traditional wear and tear. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or rubber hardening, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly and can compromise grip. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or brake shudder during your test drive. It is also critical to verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as oil changes and brake fluid replacements, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule rather than solely on a mileage basis. Furthermore, pay particular attention to the 12V battery health, as infrequent driving can lead to slow discharge and reduced cranking power. During the test drive, ensure the CVT transmission operates smoothly without any shuddering or hesitation, and listen for any unusual noises from the suspension bushes or coil springs that might indicate they have dried out or seized due to lack of movement. Finally, inspect the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion on the underside that may have developed during periods of standing.
