2022 Nissan Qashqai Nconncta Digt Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · LD72 FVB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 November 2025, although the certificate includes specific advisories regarding the condition of the front tyres. While the pass confirms the vehicle meets the minimum legal safety requirements, the advisories indicate that the tyres are nearing the end of their serviceable life and require attention. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, but the recent inspection highlights an immediate need for consumable replacement to maintain safety and prevent further mechanical complications. With a recorded mileage of 17,695 miles over a four-year period, this Nissan Qashqai has been driven significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,424 miles per year. This low-mileage usage profile suggests the vehicle may have been used for short, infrequent trips or has spent periods of time stationary. While this typically results in less mechanical wear on the engine and transmission, it can lead to secondary issues such as fluid degradation, battery depletion, or brake component corrosion due to a lack of regular operating temperatures and friction. The advisories concerning the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edges are of particular concern. Edge wear is a classic symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, such as improper tracking or camber, which should be professionally rectified to avoid uneven wear on any replacement tyres. During your test drive, pay close attention to any steering pull to one side or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, as these can indicate alignment or tyre issues. You must also confirm whether the nail in the offside front inner tyre has been professionally repaired or if the tyre requires immediate replacement to avoid a sudden loss of pressure. Because the vehicle has been driven so infrequently, you should perform a detailed physical inspection for age-related deterioration. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur when rubber sits idle. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting, which can happen when the vehicle is not driven often enough to keep the surfaces clean through friction. It is also essential to verify that the service history shows oil and fluid changes have been performed on a time-basis, as lubricants and brake fluids can degrade chemically even if the mileage remains low. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery, as low-usage vehicles are highly susceptible to charge loss and sulfation.
