2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · DS22 UUG

A clean bill of roadworthiness from the most recent test on 15 July 2025, with zero advisories or failures recorded, points to a vehicle that is currently mechanically sound and has not raised any concerns at the point of inspection. With only a single MOT entry on file for a 2022 registration, the data set is necessarily limited, but what is present is unambiguously positive. The absence of any flagged corrosion, brake wear, suspension deterioration, or emission issues is particularly encouraging for a Qashqai, given that Nissan models of this generation can occasionally present advisories around underbody corrosion and rear suspension components as mileage accumulates. At 33,587 miles against an age of approximately four years, this vehicle is accumulating mileage at an average rate of around 8,400 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a privately owned family crossover. There are no significant gaps in testing history that would suggest extended periods off the road, nor are there any sudden mileage jumps that might indicate a change in usage pattern, such as a transfer from fleet to private operation. This consistent, moderate usage profile is mechanically favourable, as it tends to mean the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components have been worked regularly without being subjected to the elevated wear rates that come with very high annual mileages. For a prospective buyer, the lack of recorded advisories means there are no specific components flagged as showing wear, which limits the inspection priorities to general condition checks. On a test drive, pay particular attention to the continuously variable transmission behaviour typical of the MHEV DCT setup, listening for any shunt, judder, or hesitation during low-speed manoeuvres and during progressive acceleration, as CVT and dual-clutch units can develop characteristic driveline issues even without MOT flags. Inspect the underside for any signs of fluid seepage from the engine sump, transmission housing, or power steering rack, and check the condition of the brake discs for any lipping or surface corrosion that might indicate infrequent use despite the moderate mileage. The tyres should be examined for even wear across the axles, which can reveal alignment or suspension geometry issues not yet significant enough to be flagged at test. Given the absence of any recorded defects, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified independent technician remains advisable to verify the condition of items that fall outside MOT scope, including the hybrid battery system health, the condition of the timing chain, and the operation of the infotainment and driver assistance systems. The 12V auxiliary battery, the regenerative braking system, and the MHEV starter-generator unit are all worth a diagnostic scan to confirm there are no stored fault codes. Overall, the documented history combined with the moderate and consistent mileage profile presents this Qashqai as a low-risk proposition from a roadworthiness standpoint, provided the standard physical checks and a scan for hidden electronic faults are carried out before purchase.
