2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · OV72 UPF

The most recent MOT, carried out on 15 December 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues identified at the earlier test on 12 December 2025 have been remedied. The earlier test recorded a major failure for a cut in the near‑side front tyre that had penetrated the ply, together with advisory‑level cuts on both rear tyres. The rapid resolution of those tyre defects and the clean pass at the subsequent test suggest a maintenance trend that is stabilising rather than deteriorating. At 31 362 miles the vehicle has covered roughly 10 450 miles per annum since its first registration in 2023. This annual mileage sits comfortably within the normal UK usage envelope for a compact SUV and does not indicate excessive wear on high‑frequency components such as the suspension, brakes or drivetrain. There are no obvious gaps in the mileage record that would imply long periods of inactivity, so the wear pattern is likely to be consistent with regular, mixed‑type driving. Prospective buyers should give the tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Verify that the front tyre which failed the earlier MOT has been replaced with a tyre of appropriate specification and that the rear tyres show no new cuts, bulges or sidewall cracking. Check tread depth across the width of each tyre and look for uneven wear that could point to mis‑aligned steering, worn suspension bushes or binding calipers. On a test drive listen for any thudding or squeaking when cornering, and feel for a pull to one side that would indicate alignment or tyre‑related issues. Also confirm that the tyre pressure sensors are functional and that the recorded pressures match the manufacturer’s recommendations. Beyond the tyres, the e‑Power hybrid system warrants a check of the 12 V battery and the high‑voltage battery health, ideally via a diagnostic scan that can confirm state‑of‑charge and any fault codes. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or glazing, especially if the car has spent time standing, and ensure the pads have sufficient material and that the calipers move freely without sticking. Examine the suspension components – coil springs, shock absorbers and rubber bushes – for any signs of leakage, corrosion or cracked rubber, and verify that the service book shows timely oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes in line with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals. A comprehensive visual check of the under‑body for rust, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, will help confirm that the vehicle has been kept in a dry environment and is structurally sound.
