2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · WF72 LZV

With only a single MOT test on file from September 2025, the roadworthiness history of this 2022 Nissan Qashqai is presently very limited, and that recorded pass carried no advisories or defects of any kind. While this is a clean result on the surface, a single pass with zero advisories across a vehicle that is now four years old does not establish a long-term pattern of mechanical soundness; it simply means that on the one occasion the car was inspected under MOT standards, it met the minimum thresholds. The absence of any flagged items such as corrosion, brake wear, or suspension degradation at the 2025 test is a neutral data point rather than proof of underlying condition, and a prospective buyer should treat the broader mechanical picture as unverified by DVSA records. The mileage accumulation appears proportionate to the vehicle's age, with 29,037 miles recorded over approximately four years, equating to around 7,259 miles annually. This figure sits within typical usage parameters for a family crossover of this type and does not suggest excessive motorway mileage, fleet-style high wear, or extended periods of standing. There is no evidence in the records of a mileage gap or sudden jump between tests, which means the annual rate can be read as steady rather than erratic. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage means consumable wear on brake pads, discs, tyres, and clutch or drivetrain components should be moderate rather than advanced, though the absence of an MOT advisory for any of these items at the 2025 test is not the same as confirmation of their internal condition. Because the single MOT pass did not flag any specific components, a prospective buyer should broaden the inspection focus to the areas most commonly affected on Qashqai models of similar age and mileage, particularly the rear suspension coil springs and dampers, which are known to fail on bumpy or potholed roads and often produce clonking noises over undulating surfaces. The front suspension wishbones, anti-roll bar bushes, and drop links should be examined for perished rubber, as wear in these areas typically presents as knocking or vagueness through the steering on uneven B-roads. The brake discs and pads, while unflagged at test, should be physically inspected for lipping on the disc edges and pad material depth, as Qashqai brakes can wear unevenly if the calipers begin to bind. During a test drive, listen for any clonks from the front and rear suspension over speed humps and uneven tarmac, and pay particular attention to whether the steering pulls to either side under braking, which can indicate a sticking caliper rather than a wheel alignment issue. The mild-hybrid drivetrain of this DIG-T variant should also be considered during evaluation, as the 12V battery and the belt-driven starter-generator system can develop issues that MOT testing would not detect. Listen for any unusual whine or hesitation from the engine on initial pull-away, as the MHEV system's torque-fill function should be imperceptible when functioning correctly. Check that the engine restarts smoothly via the stop-start system, as a sluggish or failing restart can indicate degradation in the auxiliary battery or the starter-generator unit. Finally, a thorough under-bonnet inspection for any oil seepage around the valve cover and turbo inlet pipes is worthwhile, as direct-injection turbocharged units of this type can develop minor leaks with moderate mileage that would not yet have reached the severity required to fail an emissions or oil-leak MOT check.
