2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem DIG-T Mhev 1.3L Hybrid electric · YA22 AOB

The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at that time. Looking at the preceding test in July 2025, there was an advisory concerning the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edge. The transition from this advisory to a clean pass in the subsequent test suggests that the owner has been responsive to maintenance requirements, likely by replacing the tyre or addressing an alignment issue. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable and shows a positive response to identified wear. With a recorded mileage of 29,527 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,382 miles per year. This level of usage is considered moderate and is well within the typical range for a family crossover of this age. Mechanically, this lower annual mileage suggests that the engine, transmission, and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with high-mileage vehicles. However, it is important to note that moderate usage can sometimes lead to components like brakes or batteries being under-utilised, which can cause issues such as surface corrosion or fluid degradation. During your inspection and test drive, you should pay particular attention to the tyre condition to ensure the previous advisory regarding edge wear has been fully resolved. Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, such as feathering or cupping, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. Listen for any vibrations through the steering wheel or rhythmic thumping sounds that might suggest tyre perishing or imbalance. You should also check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking or age-related degradation, as rubber can perish even if the tread depth remains sufficient. Given the vehicle's age and mileage profile, it is also prudent to inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or excessive corrosion on the brake discs, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for periods. Check the 12V battery health, as mild hybrid systems require stable voltage to function correctly. Finally, ensure that the service history reflects time-based maintenance; even with lower mileage, fluids such as engine oil and brake fluid should be replaced according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals to prevent internal degradation.
