2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · NL72 VSP

The roadworthiness record for this vehicle is currently defined by its first MOT test on 24 September 2025, which resulted in a pass but highlighted the onset of wear in the rear braking system. This represents the only recorded mechanical defect in the vehicle's DVSA history to date, establishing a baseline of roadworthiness that is currently stable but requires attention to the rear consumables. Recorded mileage of 23,775 miles over approximately four years reflects a low annual usage rate of roughly 5,944 miles. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has avoided the accelerated wear on suspension components and drivetrain elements typically seen in higher-mileage examples, though the low usage rate can sometimes correlate with a slower wear cycle for brake pads, making the current advisory more notable. Inspection should focus specifically on the rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin during the latest test. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any metallic scraping or high-pitched squealing from the rear of the vehicle during braking. Any vibration through the brake pedal or a perceived increase in stopping distances should be investigated to determine if the pads have reached their minimum thickness. Given the combination of a mild hybrid powertrain and a continuously variable transmission, the test drive must evaluate the smoothness of the acceleration and gear ratio transitions. Any shuddering, excessive droning, or hesitation during the transition from electric assistance to combustion power should be noted. The steering and suspension should also be checked for any knocks or instability over uneven surfaces to ensure the low-mileage components remain in good working order.
