2021 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · SH71 DYF

The vehicle presents a highly stable mechanical trend, confirmed by a flawless pass in the most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 22,588 miles. Recording zero defects, this test demonstrates that all primary safety systems, including brakes, steering, and structural integrity, currently meet the required roadworthiness standards. The absence of any advisories or failures indicates diligent prior maintenance, with no emerging mechanical or corrosion issues to flag. Accumulating just 22,588 miles over five years equates to roughly 4,518 miles annually, a notably low figure for its age. Between the September 2024 test at 18,917 miles and the July 2025 test at 22,588 miles, the vehicle covered 3,671 miles over a ten-month period, suggesting a shift from prolonged standing to more regular use. While low mileage reduces consumable wear, extended periods of inactivity can sometimes affect tyre sidewall condition or cause brake disc surface corrosion, though the clean MOT suggests these factors did not compromise the last inspection. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components that MOTs do not fully dismantle. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature deterioration, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perishing due to age rather than use. Check the exhaust system and DPF condition, given the mild-hybrid setup and low mileage, which can lead to short-run cycles and potential soot buildup. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust standing after long stationary periods, and scrutinize the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for dry rot, as tyre degradation here stems from age and UV exposure rather than high mileage wear.
