2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · SM22 AKF

This Nissan Qashqai has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record, passing its most recent MOT test on 18 July 2025 at just 19,538 miles, with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failings in that test suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurrent or critical issues during its most recent inspection cycle. However, the test date is now over a year out of date, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a formal safety and emissions check since then. This gap is significant, as it exceeds the recommended 12-month interval for MOT testing, leaving a period of uncertified roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 19,538 miles over approximately four years—roughly 4,884 miles annually—indicates unusually low usage for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain synchronisers, it can also imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate corrosion in vulnerable areas such as wheel arches, underbody, and wheel bearings. The lack of intermediate MOT tests or service records means there is no data to confirm whether the vehicle was stored properly or driven regularly during this period. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical wear items that are not always visible during a basic MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to degradation even with low mileage if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The brakes should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could indicate neglect or improper maintenance. Underbody corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, warrants thorough examination, as rust can compromise structural integrity and lead to leaks or failures. Additionally, verify the condition of the hybrid battery system, as MHEV vehicles are susceptible to battery degradation over time, even with low mileage.
