2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric · EY22 UNU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on May 5, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent focus on brake-related wear. While the car passed at 28,097 miles, the tester again flagged both front brake discs as worn, mirroring the condition of all four discs and rear pads noted in the previous year. This suggests a gradual degradation of the braking system across its service life rather than a sudden mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2025 test at 21,010 miles and the May 2026 test at 28,097 miles, the car covered 7,087 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which generally prevents the seizing of drivetrain and suspension components, though it explains why consumable items are showing age despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system before finalizing a purchase. The recurring advisories for thin rear pads and worn discs across both axles indicate that the previous owner may have deferred preventative maintenance until the MOT testing threshold. You must verify the thickness of the remaining front pads and check the surface of the discs for heavy scoring or pitting, which would likely necessitate immediate replacement. Since there are no structural or suspension-related faults recorded, the primary financial concern remains the cost of refreshing the brake components.
