2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric · GL72 WDO

The e‑Power hybrid system typically delivers better fuel economy than a comparable petrol Qashqai, which can help lower fuel bills, especially with current fuel prices. Because the vehicle meets Euro 6AP standards, it benefits from lower road tax rates than higher‑emission models. Insurance premiums for a 2022 Qashqai Tekna generally sit in the mid‑range for family SUVs, though exact groupings vary by insurer.

Overall, owners can expect an annual running cost in the region of £800‑£1,000, covering fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance, assuming average usage and no major repairs.

Given that the most common MOT failures for this model are anti‑roll bar, headlamp and tyre issues, inspect the condition of the anti‑roll bar mounts for any signs of wear or corrosion, and check that the headlamps illuminate correctly and are free of cracks. Examine the tyres for tread depth, uneven wear, and any damage, as tyre wear can be accelerated by higher mileage.

With 39,130 miles logged, pay particular attention to suspension components, brake pads and discs, and the hybrid battery cooling system. Look for any abnormal noises during a test drive, such as clunking from the suspension or whirring from the electric motor, which could indicate wear beyond what the MOT record shows.

Finally, verify that all electronic systems, including the e‑Power battery indicator and regenerative braking functions, operate as intended. While the MOT does not test battery health, a functional display and smooth transition between electric and petrol power are essential for a hybrid vehicle.
