2022 Nissan Qashqai Nconncta Digt Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · DV22 TVY

This 2022 Nissan Qashqai presents an uncomplicated mechanical picture across its two recorded DVSA tests, with both the 2025-03-26 and 2026-03-26 examinations passing cleanly and carrying zero advisories or defects against the vehicle. The absence of any flagged items across two consecutive MOTs means there is no documented evidence of component wear, fluid leaks, suspension deterioration, exhaust degradation, or corrosion on any inspected element, which is a reassuring baseline for a prospective buyer. With the most recent pass recorded on 2026-03-25 against a current odometer reading of 37,799 miles, the car sits roughly six months past its last official roadworthiness check, so any buyer should arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection to confirm the interim condition has not shifted in that window. A clean two-test history does not guarantee future durability, but it does indicate that structural integrity, braking performance, tyre condition, emissions, and visibility-related items have all sat within legal limits at recent testing. Recorded mileage of 37,799 miles across approximately four years of service equates to an annual accumulation of around 9,450 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical usage band for a modern family crossover of this age. There are no extended gaps between annual tests and no anomalous mileage jumps or stagnation that might suggest the vehicle has been laid up for prolonged periods or used inconsistently, both of which can introduce their own mechanical complications such as brake disc corrosion, fluid degradation, or flat-spotted tyres. The steady, moderate annual mileage is the kind of usage profile that tends to keep consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and drivetrain components within their expected service intervals without prematurely exhausting them. Mechanically, this level of use on the 1.3-litre DIG-T mild-hybrid petrol engine and the XTRONIC CVT transmission should not have imposed unusual load on the powertrain, provided routine servicing has been observed. For a prospective buyer, the clean advisory history means there are no specific flagged components to focus the test-drive around, but it would be prudent to pay particular attention to the items that commonly affect Qashqais of this generation and mileage bracket. On a road test, listen for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, as the front lower control arm bushes and rear suspension links are known wear points that may not have crossed advisory thresholds yet but could be approaching the point of replacement. Check for any pulling under braking or vibration through the steering wheel, as the front brake discs on CVT-equipped Qashqais can develop lipping or uneven wear under steady urban use. Inspect the underside of the vehicle visually for any surface corrosion on subframe and suspension components, and examine the engine bay for any signs of oil misting around the cam cover or turbo inlet pipe, which are common seepage points on the DIG-T unit. Given the CVT transmission, particular attention during the test drive should be paid to the behaviour of the gearbox under light throttle and during moderate acceleration, listening for any whine, judder, or hesitation that could indicate early-stage variator or stepper motor issues, which are documented concerns on this generation of Nissan CVT. Confirm that the mild-hybrid system operates correctly by observing whether the engine stop-start function engages smoothly and that the dashboard displays no hybrid system warnings. Verify that the air conditioning system produces consistent cold output, as compressor and condenser issues are common on this model and would not necessarily be MOT-flagged. Finally, confirm a full service history with particular attention to the CVT fluid having been changed or inspected at the manufacturer-recommended interval, as neglecting this on a chain-driven CVT can lead to expensive internal wear that would not surface on an MOT test but could materially affect the vehicle's long-term reliability.
