2022 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Digt Mhev 4X4CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric · SW71 EUX

The Nissan Qashqai presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 31,464 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and, by all measurable indicators, improving, given the complete absence of advisories or failures across both documented tests. This is a strong signal that the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order, with no recurring faults or emerging deterioration patterns to raise concern. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable in the best sense. Between the January 2025 test at 24,807 miles and the January 2026 test at 31,464 miles, the vehicle covered 6,657 miles over a full twelve-month period. That sits comfortably within the typical annual range for a family crossover, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged standing or unusually heavy wear. No anomalous gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, and the sparse but clean two-test history aligns with a vehicle that has simply not needed repeated attention. With no flagged defects to guide a targeted inspection, the focus shifts to components that naturally age regardless of MOT outcomes. The buyer should examine the condition of the tyres, paying particular attention to sidewall integrity and tread depth across all four corners, as uneven wear on a part-time four-wheel-drive CVT variant can indicate alignment or drivetrain issues. Suspension bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links deserve a close visual check for perishing or play, common on vehicles of this age even when they pass emissions and roadworthiness checks. The underside should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the subframe, sills, and exhaust mounting points, as surface corrosion can develop quietly on vehicles used for short journeys. The CVT transmission should be tested under light and heavy throttle for any hesitation, judder, or whining that might indicate fluid degradation. Brake disc thickness and pad condition should be verified, along with the operation of the mild hybrid system's regenerative braking integration, which can mask early caliper drag if not assessed carefully.
