2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · DX71 UOA

The 2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T MHEV CVT presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean MOT pass on 20 June 2025 at 29,727 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 1 October 2024 at 23,771 miles had flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on their edges, indicating uneven wear likely caused by suspension misalignment or aggressive driving. The absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent test suggests the front tyres were replaced and the underlying wear issue was addressed, pointing to a responsible owner who corrected the fault promptly. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap between the two recorded MOTs. The vehicle covered 5,956 miles in the eight-month window from October 2024 to June 2025, which is consistent with the overall annual average of roughly 5,945 miles. However, the sparse record with only two tests in five years of ownership raises a question about whether the car sat unused for extended periods between annual tests. Low mileage can mask risks such as deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, or moisture ingress in brake fluid and differential oils from prolonged standing. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry carefully, as the edge wear on both front tyres flagged in October 2024 suggests possible worn tracking, damaged suspension bushes, or a misaligned subframe. Even though the June 2025 test was clean, the underlying cause of that uneven wear pattern may not have been fully resolved. Check the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for feathering or cupping, and examine the condition of the front lower arms, drop links, and anti-roll bar links for play or perishing. The CVT gearbox and MHEV system deserve attention during a test drive. Listen for whining, shuddering, or delayed throttle response, which can indicate worn pulleys or degraded hybrid battery performance. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the exhaust system, brake lines, and subframe, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for long periods can develop surface rust that compromises structural integrity over time. Verify the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, particularly at the rear, since the October 2024 test did not flag any brake defects but the car's usage pattern may have changed since.
