2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · YE22 ACZ

This Nissan Qashqai has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past two years, with both tests—conducted on 2026-02-09 at 24,053 miles and 2025-02-12 at 12,308 miles—resulting in clean passes without defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing. The most recent test, just five months ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating no urgent mechanical failures have been overlooked. However, the sparse record does not provide insight into service history beyond the MOT scope, leaving critical components like CVT transmission fluid condition, suspension bushings, and brake hydraulic integrity unverified. The mileage progression of approximately 6,013 miles per year over the past four years reflects typical usage for this age and model, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended storage. The gap between tests—11,745 miles in 12 months—is standard for a low-mileage vehicle, though it also implies the owner may not have engaged in proactive servicing beyond the legal MOT requirement. Without service records, there is no confirmation that fluids (engine oil, CVT fluid, brake fluid) or filters have been changed according to Nissan’s recommended intervals, which could accelerate wear in the CVT transmission or braking system. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the CVT transmission for fluid condition and unusual noise, particularly under acceleration or deceleration. The suspension should be assessed for worn or leaking bushes, especially at the rear, where binding or uneven wear is common in this model. Brake discs and pads, though not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven thickness or glazing, while the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and brake hydraulic lines should be checked for leaks or corrosion. Structural integrity of the wheel arches and sills is also critical, as this model is prone to corrosion in high-salt regions, despite the low mileage. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns, while not MOT-failed, should be examined to rule out misalignment or uneven loading.
