2022 Nissan Qashqai Ncnta Digt Mhev 4X4CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · SJ22 TTU

A 2022 Nissan Qashqai with two MOT tests on record, both passed on 28 February 2025 and 2 March 2026, with zero defects or advisories recorded against either examination. The absence of any flagged items over the most recent two test cycles is a positive indicator of roadworthiness, though it is worth noting that the first MOT for this vehicle would have fallen due in March 2025 given its March 2022 registration, meaning only two annual tests exist in the history. There is no failure data, no advisory pattern, and no evidence of recurring component wear, which on the limited record available presents a stable mechanical profile. With 23,586 miles recorded against an age of roughly four years, the annual accumulation sits at approximately 5,896 miles per year, which is well below average for a compact SUV of this vintage. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests is difficult to verify precisely as DVSA records do not always capture mileage at every event, but the low overall figure points to a vehicle that has seen predominantly light, short-trip usage rather than sustained high-mileage motorway work. Mechanically, this profile generally means reduced wear on friction components such as brake pads and discs, less stress on the clutch and transmission, and lower overall fatigue on suspension bushes and coil springs. The flip side is that low annual mileage can mask issues that develop during periods of standing, including deterioration of brake discs through surface corrosion, hardening of tyre rubber, and undertray corrosion from infrequent use in wet conditions, none of which would necessarily appear on an MOT if not yet at the failure threshold. For a prospective buyer, the clean advisory record removes specific component targeting, but the test drive should still be methodical given the usage profile. Listen for any clonks or knocks from the front and rear suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the rear coil springs and trailing arm bushes, which are known wear items on this generation of Qashqai and can fail without producing an immediate MOT advisory. On the brake pedal, check for a spongy initial bite or any pulsation through the steering wheel under moderate braking, which would suggest disc corrosion from the low-use profile rather than pad wear. The Xtronic CVT transmission should be allowed to warm briefly before setting off, with attention paid to any hesitation, judder, or rubber-band sensation during steady acceleration between 30 and 50 mph, as CVT behaviour is sensitive to fluid condition over time. Underneath the vehicle, a thorough visual inspection should focus on the rear axle and undertray area for any surface corrosion that might not yet have been flagged, particularly around the subframe mounting points and brake pipe runs along the chassis. Given the relatively low mileage and short four-year age, structural corrosion should not be a primary concern, but localised bubbling on the lower sill edges or around the wheel arches is worth confirming. Tyres should be inspected for uneven shoulder wear, which can indicate alignment drift from kerb contact rather than gradual wear, and the spare or inflation kit should be confirmed present. Finally, verify that the hybrid mild-hybrid system warning lamps cycle correctly on ignition and that the stop-start function operates as intended, as any electrical faults in the 12V system supporting the MHEV functions would not necessarily show on an MOT but could indicate underlying battery or charging issues given the vehicle's light usage pattern.
