2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · NJ22 BCX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a declining maintenance trend, moving from a clean pass in March 2025 to a significant failure in March 2026. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 31,663 miles, the inspector flagged a distorted nearside front alloy wheel with inner rim damage and an offside rear inner wheel arch cover rubbing against the tyre sidewall. These issues follow a failed test just four days earlier on 26 March 2026 at 31,470 miles, which highlighted multiple tyre defects including low tread depth, cracking, perishing, and a nail in the offside rear tyre. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle. The car covered 15,573 miles between the March 2025 test at 16,090 miles and the March 2026 test at 31,663 miles. This equates to roughly 15,000 miles per year, which is slightly higher than the previously estimated average of 7,916 miles but remains within a standard range for a modern diesel-hybrid crossover. The data shows a clear period of active use, though the sudden appearance of multiple tyre failures suggests a lapse in basic consumable maintenance during the last year of ownership. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front alloy wheel to ensure the distortion has not compromised the tyre seal or caused vibration issues. The rubbing inner wheel arch cover requires close examination to determine if the mounting clips have perished or if the liner has shifted, as this could lead to premature tyre sidewall damage. Given the recent history of perishing and cracking tyres, the age and condition of all four tyres should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The structural integrity of the wheel arches and the condition of the alloy rims are the primary areas of concern. While the mechanical components like the drivetrain and emissions were not flagged, the repeated tyre and wheel issues indicate that the previous owner may have neglected routine consumable replacements. Checking the suspension components for any secondary damage caused by the reported wheel distortion or the rubbing arch cover is a necessary precaution.
