2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY72 MKO

The 2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two MOT cycles, both concluding with clean passes at 46,441 and 44,283 miles respectively. The most recent test on 30 March 2026—just under four months ago—confirmed no defects, which aligns with the previous November 2025 pass. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures or structural issues during the period covered. However, the absence of advisories or defects in either test does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the hybrid-electric powertrain’s unique wear patterns and the vehicle’s age. The recorded mileage of 46,441 miles over four years—approximately 11,600 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in usage between tests, indicating steady ownership without prolonged periods of neglect or rapid depreciation. The most recent MOT was conducted at 46,441 miles, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached the 48,000-mile interval for some hybrid-specific components, such as high-voltage battery health checks, though these are not MOT-required. The lack of mileage gaps also implies the vehicle has likely been driven regularly, which can mitigate some forms of prolonged inactivity-related wear. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of an independent inspection should centre on the hybrid-electric system’s integrity, particularly the battery and cooling system, as these are not routinely covered by the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has encountered uneven surfaces or potholes. Brake systems, while not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad thickness, warped discs, or binding calipers, which could indicate past neglect despite the clean test results. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, as the Qashqai’s design can be susceptible to rust progression over time. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration, so visual and functional checks are essential.
