2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · LO07 HAT

A low-mileage usage profile defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness history, characterized by a clean record with minimal recorded interventions. The most recent MOT test on 13 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects noted, following a previous pass on 20 March 2025 that included a single advisory regarding a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates a stable trend of compliance, though the single advisory suggests a specific area of consumable wear that required monitoring during the previous inspection cycle. The vehicle has covered 16,922 miles over approximately four years, averaging roughly 4,230 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, which typically suggests the vehicle has been used for short-distance trips or has spent periods stationary. Mechanically, such low annual accumulation means that primary drivetrain components and suspension linkages are likely to have low cumulative wear, but it also means that components such as brake discs and calipers may not have been subjected to the regular heat cycles and friction necessary to prevent surface corrosion or seizing. Given the advisory for nearside front tyre wear on the edge, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and steering geometry during a test drive. Uneven tyre wear of this nature often points to issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or a faulty tracking setting. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise from the front end, and check for any pulling to one side when releasing the steering wheel on a level surface, which would indicate a misalignment or a component issue in the steering rack or wishbones. Beyond the tyre wear, the low mileage necessitates a physical inspection of the braking system for signs of surface oxidation on the discs, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear debris. During the test drive, feel for any pedal judder or pulsations when applying the brakes at varying speeds, as this can indicate uneven pad deposits or warped discs. While the 2026 MOT was clear of defects, ensuring the tyre tread depth is well above the legal limit and that the steering feels centered and stable is essential to confirm that the previous advisory has been fully rectified.
