2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Electricity · FX22 XMM

The most recent MOT carried out on 20 June 2026 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a level that satisfies the current statutory safety and emissions standards. At four years old the Qashqai has logged 24,776 mi, which works out to just under 6,200 mi per annum. This falls comfortably within the typical UK usage pattern for a compact SUV and suggests the car has not been subjected to high‑stress, high‑kilometre duty cycles. The relatively modest annual mileage also implies that wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyres will be less advanced than on a comparable high‑mileage example, though prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce its own set of age‑related issues. Given the clean MOT and modest mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, and verify that the tread depth remains above the legal minimum and is even across the wheel‑base, as uneven wear can hint at mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering bushes. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and assess the 12‑volt battery’s state of charge; a four‑year‑old unit may be approaching the end of its service life, especially if the car has spent long intervals stationary. Check for any signs of fluid degradation – oil, coolant and brake fluid should be clear and at the correct levels, with a change recommended if the service book shows the last interval exceeded the manufacturer’s time‑based schedule. Finally, review the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, timing‑chain or belt service, and any recorded replacement of wear items such as brake discs, pads and suspension components. During a test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension bushes, monitor for brake shudder or pulsation under moderate braking, and watch for any exhaust smoke or unusual engine noises that could indicate hidden wear. Confirm that all electronic aids – including the MHEV system, infotainment display and driver‑assist sensors – operate without fault, as these systems can be costly to rectify if they have been neglected.
