2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Petrol · LO22 BNB

A clean and consistent MOT record is the defining feature of this 2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T MHEV, with both recorded tests resulting in pass outcomes and no advisories logged against the vehicle. The most recent assessment on 29 May 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 24 May 2025 also passed without any advisories. While this points to a stable roadworthiness profile at the point of test, it is important to note that the vehicle has only undergone two MOT examinations so far, given its May 2022 registration date. The first test would have been due in 2026 (three years post-registration), which suggests the testing history is relatively limited in volume, and any emerging wear items may not yet have surfaced as advisory entries. Recorded mileage of 57,349 miles against a roughly four-year age equates to an annual accumulation of around 14,337 miles, which is notably high for a Qashqai of this vintage. Average mileage for vehicles in this segment typically falls in the 7,000 to 10,000 miles per year bracket, so this car has been working considerably harder than its peers. Mechanically, higher mileage of this nature accelerates wear on consumable braking components including pads and discs, places greater cumulative load on the suspension system including bushes and shock absorbers, and can shorten the effective service life of clutch components on the manual variant or transmission elements on the automatic. The relatively short interval between the two recorded tests makes it difficult to determine the exact mileage progression year on year, but the overall figure alone warrants close physical inspection of wear-sensitive parts. Given the elevated mileage, particular attention should be paid during a test drive to the behaviour of the braking system. Listen for any grinding, squealing, or pulsing through the pedal that might indicate worn pads, scored discs, or binding calipers. Feel for any pulling to one side under braking, which can suggest uneven pad wear or a seized caliper slider. The brake pedal should feel firm and progressive, without excessive travel or sponginess. Inspect the visible brake discs through the wheels for obvious lipping at the outer edge, which is a normal consequence of pad wear but provides a useful indicator of remaining disc life relative to pad condition. Suspension and steering components should also be examined carefully given the mileage, even though no advisories were recorded. On the test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking sounds emanating from the front suspension over speed humps or uneven road surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar drop links, wishbone bushes, or top mounts. The steering should feel precise and self-centring without excessive free play or vibration through the wheel at speed. Visually inspect the underbody area, paying particular attention to coil springs for any signs of corrosion or breakage, shock absorbers for oil misting or seepage, and any visible fluid leaks from the engine or transmission. Although the MOT record is unblemished, the high annual mileage means these components are likely closer to the end of their typical service interval than a lower-mileage equivalent would be.
