2022 Nissan Qashqai Nconncta Digt Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · FN72 HAX

The latest MOT test conducted on 9 March 2026 resulted in a pass. Although a failure was recorded on the same date, the absence of listed defects suggests a minor administrative correction or a trivial issue rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with a clean record and no advisories across the available history, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order and maintained to a high standard. With 30,237 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,559 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a family crossover, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. There are no signs of excessive wear associated with high-mileage vehicles, nor are there indications of prolonged standing that would typically lead to premature component degradation or fluid stagnation. Given the clean MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on calendar-based wear and manufacturer service intervals. A primary concern for a vehicle of this age is the condition of the tyres; check the sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, even if the tread depth remains legal. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary between trips. The mild hybrid system and CVT transmission require specific attention during the evaluation. Verify that the service book contains the correct stamps for oil and filter changes, as calendar-based fluid degradation occurs regardless of mileage. During the test drive, listen for any unusual drivetrain whine or shudder from the CVT and ensure the regenerative braking feels smooth. Finally, test the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can degrade over a four-year period, potentially affecting the start-stop system and electronic accessories.
