2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna E-Power Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO72 EVV

A consistent and uncomplicated roadworthiness profile defines this vehicle, which successfully navigated its most recent MOT assessment on 16 October 2025. While the initial inspection on that same date resulted in a failure due to both the nearside and offside headlamp aim being set too high, these were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. This indicates that the failure was a matter of simple adjustment rather than a systemic electrical or structural fault, and the absence of any other recorded defects or advisories suggests that the primary safety-critical systems, including steering, suspension, and braking components, were functioning within expected parameters at the time of the last test. Accumulating approximately 23,413 miles over four years results in an average annual usage of roughly 5,853 miles, a figure notably lower than the typical national average. This light usage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-stress, high-mileage motorway cycles that often accelerate wear on drivetrain components and heavy-duty suspension parts. However, lower mileage cycles can sometimes mask the early onset of age-related degradation in rubber components or seals that are more prone to hardening when a vehicle is used infrequently or left stationary for extended periods. Given the headlamp adjustment issues recorded in 2025, a prospective buyer should verify that the beam pattern remains correctly aligned and that the automatic levelling system, integral to the e-Power drivetrain and LED lighting setup, responds correctly when the vehicle is loaded. During a test drive, pay close attention to the transition between the petrol engine and the electric motor, ensuring there is no hesitation or unusual vibration under load. Listen specifically for any clunking or knocking noises from the front end when navigating uneven road surfaces, as these would indicate early wear in the anti-roll bar links or suspension bushes, which are common stress points on modern crossover platforms. Furthermore, because the vehicle has seen relatively low annual mileage, inspect the brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or pitting that can develop from infrequent use. During the test drive, perform a series of controlled stops to ensure the pedal feel is firm and that there is no judder or pulling to either side, which would indicate binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Finally, check the underside for any signs of surface oxidation on the subframe or exposed metal components, as consistent, low-mileage city driving can sometimes lead to localized corrosion if the vehicle has been exposed to road salt without frequent long-distance runs to clear moisture from the undercarriage.
