2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · WR72 XEW

A notable aspect of this 2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T is that, while it passed its latest MOT on 12 December 2025, the test recorded three wear‑related advisories – an off‑side rear nail, front and rear brake pads approaching the minimum thickness, and a near‑side rear tyre close to the legal tread limit. The presence of multiple consumable‑wear advisories at a relatively early stage suggests that the vehicle’s tyre and brake components are reaching the point where replacement will be required soon, even though no outright failures have been logged. The recorded 43 355 miles over roughly four years translates to an average of about 10 800 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the normal UK usage envelope for a family SUV. There are no evident gaps in the MOT chronology, indicating the vehicle has been kept on the road consistently rather than experiencing prolonged storage periods that could mask latent issues. This mileage level aligns with the observed wear on the brakes and tyres, as the Qashqai’s disc‑brake system and tyre rubber typically begin to show measurable thinning in the 30‑40 k‑mile range under normal driving conditions. When inspecting the tyre condition, verify that the off‑side rear nail has not compromised the carcass by feeling for any bulges or uneven wear around the puncture site, and confirm that the near‑side rear tyre tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum across the entire width. A visual inspection for sidewall cracks, foreign objects, and consistent tread wear patterns will help gauge whether the tyre set can safely continue or requires immediate replacement. Additionally, check the tyre pressures against the manufacturer’s specification and listen for any low‑frequency thumping that could indicate a slow leak. The brake pad advisories merit prompt attention; thin pads can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased rotor wear. During a road test, feel for any pedal pulsation, increased pedal travel, or a high‑pitched squeal that intensifies under moderate braking – these are typical symptoms of pads nearing the wear limit. A visual check of the brake discs for scoring or glazing should accompany the pad assessment, and if the discs show significant surface irregularities, replacement may be advisable alongside the pads. Addressing both the pads and any potential disc wear now will help maintain the Qashqai’s stopping performance and avoid unexpected MOT failures in the near future.
