2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · OV73 UTA

The vehicle most recently underwent its MOT test on 28 July 2026 and achieved a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Given that this represents the first mandatory inspection for a 2023 model, the maintenance trend is currently rated as stable. The absence of any noted faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition consistent with its relatively young age and low usage. The recorded mileage of 14,128 miles is significantly below the national average for a three year old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,709 miles per annum. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, such low usage often implies the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to issues associated with inactivity and calendar-based deterioration. During a physical inspection, particular attention should be paid to the tyres. Even with ample tread remaining, tyres on low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perishing or sidewall cracking due to age and UV exposure. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. During the test drive, listen for any unusual grinding or shuddering under braking that could indicate uneven disc wear or oxidation. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than relying solely on mileage triggers, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. Additionally, the health of the 12V battery should be checked, as mild hybrid systems can be sensitive to voltage drops during periods of standing. Finally, ensure all fluid levels are correct and that there are no signs of leakage around the seals, which can occasionally dry out when not regularly lubricated by fluid circulation.
