2022 Nissan Qashqai Nconncta Digt Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY72 DHO

A 2022 Nissan Qashqai with only two MOT tests on file, both resulting in passes, presents a narrow but clean roadworthiness picture as far as the official DVSA record extends. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 recorded no defects at all, and the earlier pass on 19 September 2025 produced a single advisory concerning a nearside front outer tyre sidewall cut that was not deep enough to reach the ply or cords. That single advisory is isolated rather than indicative of any systemic deterioration, and there are no recorded brake, suspension, corrosion, exhaust, or lighting defects to suggest any underlying mechanical pattern. The absence of any failure entries across both tests means there is no precedent for component-level non-compliance that a buyer needs to factor into their assessment. Overall, the documented DVSA trajectory is stable, with the only flagged item being a minor cosmetic-type tyre issue that did not affect the pass outcome. The recorded mileage of 30,874 miles against an approximate four-year age equates to an annual accumulation of around 7,718 miles, which is broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this type and age. There are no gaps in the testing history to suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the progression between the two recorded tests reflects a steady rather than erratic pattern of use. Mechanically, this rate of mileage points to moderate wear on consumable items such as brake pads and discs, tyres, and wiper components, while core drivetrain elements including the CVT transmission and the mild-hybrid electrical system should have accumulated only modest working hours. The relatively contained annual mileage reduces the likelihood of advanced wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings, although these items still warrant physical inspection as they age. Given the advisory recorded on the nearside front outer tyre, a prospective buyer should inspect the sidewall carefully for any signs of bulging, cracking, or slow leakage, particularly around the area where the previous cut was noted, and confirm that a replacement tyre has not been fitted with a mismatched brand, size, or tread pattern to the remaining axle. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal tyre noise or vibration through the steering wheel, which can indicate uneven sidewall integrity or wheel balance issues. The test drive should also include firm braking from moderate speed to check for any pedal judder or pulling to one side, which would suggest uneven brake disc wear or a binding caliper, both of which are common consumable wear items at this mileage band. Suspension refinement is worth assessing on poorer road surfaces where any knocking, clonking, or excessive bouncing over bumps could indicate worn anti-roll bar links, drop links, or top mounts rather than a healthy assembly. Steering feel should remain consistent and self-centring without any notchiness or vibration, and the CVT transmission should deliver smooth, progressive acceleration without shudder, slipping, or intrusive engine revving unrelated to road speed. Finally, with the mild-hybrid system in mind, confirm that the vehicle restarts cleanly from the auto stop-start function and that no warning lights relating to the hybrid battery or 12V system are illuminated on the dashboard, as any persistent warning here would warrant diagnostic investigation beyond what the MOT record alone can reveal.
