2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · PJ72 ABX

The most recent MOT test for this 2022 Nissan Qashqai, conducted on 31 October 2025 at precisely 14,094 miles, resulted in an unusual dual entry—both a pass and a fail recorded simultaneously. This anomaly suggests either a technical error in the DVSA system or a deliberate retest after an initial failure that was not logged correctly. No defects were noted in either entry, which implies the vehicle passed all mandatory checks for brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity at that point. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the single test window available indicates no obvious pattern of deferred maintenance or mechanical degradation. However, the lack of a clear test history beyond this point—particularly no subsequent MOT since October 2025—raises questions about whether the vehicle has remained in regular use or has been off the road entirely. The recorded mileage of 14,094 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of just 3,524 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or potential odometer manipulation, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The consistency of the mileage between the 2022 registration and the 2025 test also indicates no rapid accumulation of miles that might have accelerated wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain seals. However, low mileage alone does not preclude underlying issues—rust, electrical faults, or deferred servicing could still be present without visible signs of use. Given the sparse MOT data, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical components that often fail without obvious mileage-related triggers. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and mounting points for wear or corrosion, as these can degrade silently over time. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or excessive rotor thickness variation, even if the MOT passed—some issues may not have been detected at the time. Structural integrity is another concern; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for signs of rust penetration or bodywork damage that could compromise safety. Electrical systems, including lights, sensors, and the hybrid battery health (if applicable), should also be tested, as these are common failure points that may not always be caught during a standard MOT. The lack of a recent test (over 10 months ago) further justifies thorough checks, as some faults may have developed since the last inspection.
