2022 Nissan Qashqai Tkna+ Digt Mhev 4X4CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · HD22 FGG

This 2022 Nissan Qashqai presents an unblemished DVSA roadworthiness record across its two recorded MOT tests, with both the December 2025 and January 2025 examinations passing without a single advisory note, defect, or failure item logged. For a vehicle now approaching four years of age, the complete absence of recorded wear items on the inspection covers the major mechanical safety systems including braking components, suspension and steering linkages, tyre condition, exhaust integrity, lighting, and structural corrosion. This clean sheet suggests the car has not yet reached the wear thresholds that typically trigger advisories on components such as brake discs, pads, coil springs, bushes, or underbody protection. Mechanically, this represents a track record of roadworthiness that is reassuringly stable, with no deteriorating trend visible across successive tests. While a clean MOT record is not by itself proof of perfect mechanical condition, it does indicate that a competent tester has found nothing of concern on two separate occasions within the same calendar year. The recorded mileage of 33,442 against a 2022 registration year places annual accumulation at roughly 8,360 miles, which sits squarely within expected parameters for a privately used family crossover of this type. There are no anomalous gaps in testing history that would suggest extended periods off the road, and the consistent MOT scheduling from January 2025 through to December 2025 demonstrates the vehicle has been in regular use. This usage pattern is significant from a mechanical perspective because moderate, consistent driving tends to be kinder to components than either very low annual mileages, which can promote corrosion through infrequent warm-up cycles and fluid stagnation, or excessively high mileages, which accelerate wear on clutches, turbochargers, and suspension consumables. At this rate of accumulation, the Qashqai is unlikely to have experienced significant stress on its CVT transmission, brake discs, or turbocharger associated with the 1.3-litre DIG-T mild hybrid powertrain, all of which are sensitive to how the car has been driven. Given that no specific components have been flagged in the MOT record, buyer guidance should focus on the wear items that commonly begin to surface around the 30,000 to 50,000 mile mark on Qashqais of this generation, particularly those that a standard MOT test may not fully evaluate. During a test drive, pay close attention to the behaviour of the CVT automatic transmission: any hesitation, juddering on light throttle, or unusual whine from the transmission tunnel would warrant investigation, as CVT units in this era can develop internal issues. Listen for clonking or knocking from the front suspension when traversing speed bumps or potholes, which could indicate wear in the lower control arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, or drop links. The steering should feel precise without looseness through the straight-ahead position, and any vibration through the wheel at speed could point to wheel balance issues or, more seriously, propshaft concerns given this is the 4x4 variant. On the braking system, despite no advisories being recorded, the discs and pads should be physically inspected for remaining material thickness, as a 33,000 mile car may be approaching its second set of front pads. During the road test, the pedal should feel firm and progressive; any pulsing under braking would indicate disc runout or warping, particularly if the vehicle has experienced frequent cold short journeys typical of family use. The underbody, exhaust system, and brake pipes should be examined for early signs of surface corrosion, particularly given the mild hybrid electrical components mounted beneath the vehicle. Check that the 12-volt auxiliary battery and the mild hybrid system show no warning lights on start-up, as these units can be costly to replace. Finally, verify that all recall and software update work has been completed by a Nissan main agent, and ensure the service history demonstrates timely fluid changes, particularly for the CVT transmission oil, which is critical to long-term reliability on this powertrain.
