2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Petrol · LD22 HSN

The Nissan Qashqai in question presents a clean and stable MOT history over the past year, with both the December 2025 and June 2025 tests at 22,044 and 20,097 miles respectively passing without any defects recorded. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in core mechanical areas, with no signs of recurring issues that might indicate neglect or underlying faults. The most recent test in December 2025, just seven months ago, confirms the car meets all current DVSA roadworthiness standards, including emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. There are no advisories or minor faults to suggest impending failures, which is uncommon for a used vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging around 5,500 miles per year—a figure that could imply either light personal use or extended periods of inactivity. The gap between tests is standard (approximately six months), and there’s no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might strain components like brakes, clutch, or suspension. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes mask wear in less frequently used systems, such as the hybrid battery or auxiliary electrical components, which may not be fully exercised. Buyers should verify if the car has been driven regularly or stored for long periods, as the latter could affect fluid condition, tyre ageing, or battery health. Given the absence of faults in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas not routinely checked in standard MOTs. Pay particular attention to the hybrid system—specifically the battery’s health and any warning lights related to regenerative braking or electric propulsion. Check for signs of corrosion or fluid leaks around the high-voltage connections, as these can degrade over time even with low mileage. The suspension should be tested for uneven wear or binding, particularly in the coil springs or anti-roll bars, while the brakes should be inspected for uneven pad thickness or glazing, despite the MOT passing. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres beyond tread depth, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from dry rot or cracking if stored improperly.
