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

Annual mileage of approximately 12,500 miles places this 2022 Nissan Qashqai well above the typical accumulation rate for a four-year-old family crossover, and that usage profile is the defining mechanical story behind the vehicle. Despite the higher-than-average wear exposure, the DVSA record shows a clean pass at the most recent test on 5 February 2026 with no advisories or defects recorded, and the only previous entry on 10 February 2025 was also a pass with no defects. The duplicate 5 February 2026 entry showing both a pass and a fail with no defects recorded is almost certainly a clerical or retest administrative entry rather than evidence of a mechanical failure, as no component was cited. From a roadworthiness perspective, the trend is stable rather than worsening or improving, though the absence of any recorded advisories is unusual given the mileage and could simply reflect a diligent pre-test preparation rather than perfect component condition. The high annual mileage of around 12,500 miles over four years is significant for a vehicle of this type. At this rate, brake pads and discs will have likely been replaced or be approaching replacement, clutch material on the manual version would be heavily worn, and the CVT transmission in this DIG-T MHEV variant will have accumulated considerable hydraulic and thermal cycling. Tyres will have seen roughly two to three full sets depending on rotation and alignment discipline. Higher mileage also accelerates wear on suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and engine mount rubber, even on a relatively modern platform. There are no gaps in testing and no recorded low-mileage periods, suggesting the vehicle has been in continuous use rather than standing idle, which is mechanically preferable for avoiding issues like brake seizure, flat-spotted tyres, or dried seals, but does mean no component has had the benefit of light-duty service life. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no specific DVSA-cited defect to investigate, but the mileage demands a hands-on mechanical inspection. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed bumps and rough surfaces, which would indicate worn lower arm bushes or anti-roll bar drop links typical of Qashqais at this mileage. Feel for any vibration through the steering wheel under braking, which would point to warped front brake discs rather than pad wear. The CVT transmission should be evaluated for any shunt, judder, or delayed engagement when moving off from cold, and the engine should be observed for any blue smoke on start-up that might indicate turbo or valve guide wear given the high usage. Given that no MOT advisories have ever been recorded, any emerging wear items will not appear in the official history, so a pre-purchase inspection at an independent garage with the vehicle placed on a ramp is strongly recommended to check the underside for oil leaks from the engine and transmission, CVT fluid condition, and the state of the exhaust mounting rubbers and undertray, which are common deterioration points on this model at higher mileages.
