2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY72 DSE

The 2022 Nissan Qashqai in question achieved a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 26 September 2025, with no defects recorded at 42,688 miles. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend, as the vehicle has not failed or been subject to advisories in the single available test window. The absence of recurring issues suggests that, at the time of testing, the vehicle met all current DVSA standards for brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity. However, the limited data means this verdict is based solely on a single pass without prior context—buyers should treat this as a snapshot rather than a comprehensive history. The recorded mileage of 42,688 miles over approximately four years—roughly 10,672 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps or spikes in the data to suggest prolonged neglect or rapid deterioration, though the lack of earlier MOTs prevents confirmation of consistent maintenance. The average annual mileage implies moderate usage, which generally correlates with lower wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain seals. Still, the absence of pre-2025 tests means critical wear patterns—such as gradual corrosion or progressive suspension failure—cannot be ruled out without further inspection. Given the sparse MOT record, an in-person inspection should prioritise components prone to wear at this mileage: the rear brake calipers and discs, which may exhibit binding or uneven wear; the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the wheel bearings and subframe mounts, for cracks or excessive play; and the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or leaks, especially around flanges. The absence of advisories does not preclude hidden issues—tyre condition, wheel alignment, and fluid levels (brakes, power steering, differential) should also be verified. The lack of prior MOTs makes it impossible to assess whether earlier failures were resolved properly, so buyers should scrutinise service records for evidence of timely repairs to critical systems.
