2022 Nissan Qashqai N-Connecta DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric · WM72 NVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 37,436 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior due to multiple defects. The front suspension arm bushes on both sides were flagged as worn, and although they did not cause an immediate failure, they indicate that components are reaching the end of their functional life and will require attention to prevent future MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use motor vehicle, averaging approximately 9,360 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 13,000 miles between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests, followed by another 14,000 miles in the final year. Despite the relatively low mileage for a four-year-old Nissan, the initial failure at 10,191 miles due to a bald nearsside tyre suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when forced to do so by a test failure. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension for any play or audible squeaking noises, as the worn bushes are a recurring point of concern. The April 2025 advisory noted thin brake pads and worn front discs, and since the April 2026 failure involved damaged rear tyres with cords showing, the buyer should verify that all four tyres have been replaced recently and that the braking system has been properly serviced. The condition of the windscreen wiper blades, which were flagged in the 2026 failure, should be checked to ensure they provide adequate visibility.
