2023 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta E-Power A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SD72 OEV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on February 2, 2026. While the most recent test showed no defects, the failure recorded just six days prior at 49,234 miles indicates a specific issue that required immediate attention before the retest. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle met all standards immediately after the initial failure, though the short interval suggests a component was rectified rather than a systemic pattern of neglect. At 49,237 miles over three years, this Nissan has covered an average of over 16,000 miles annually. This significantly exceeds the UK average for a passenger vehicle, suggesting consistent long-distance or likely motorway use. The rapid mileage accumulation between the January failure and the February pass shows the vehicle remained in active use despite the mechanical setback. This high level of annual mileage typically puts accelerated wear on consumable-related components and the suspension assembly compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify signs of premature fatigue or leaking. The braking system should be examined for uneven pad wear or scored discs, as high usage cycles can lead to binding calipers. Additionally, verifying the specific reason for the January 2026 failure is vital to ensure the repair was comprehensive and not merely a temporary fix for a mechanical fault.
