2021 Nissan Qashqai Nconncta Digt Mhev CVT 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · YF71 SGU

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 11 July 2026 showing no recorded defects. The testing history across the last three years demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance, as the vehicle has successfully passed each annual inspection without any mechanical failures or structural issues being flagged by the tester. While the 2025 inspection included a single advisory regarding an offside rear child seat obstructing a full inspection of the adult seat belt, this was a matter of accessibility rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent 2026 test returned a completely clear result. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by relatively low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,990 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 24,948 at the time of the latest test, the accumulation rate is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of use suggests less wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as less frequent stress on the CVT transmission and suspension bushings. However, because the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, it is important to verify that the vehicle has not suffered from the effects of infrequent operation, such as seized calipers or uneven tyre wear from short-distance urban driving. Given the lack of recorded mechanical defects, the inspection should focus on verifying that the low-mileage usage has not led to any secondary issues. During a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the CVT transmission by checking for any unusual vibrations, surges, or hesitations during acceleration. Since the 2025 advisory specifically mentioned an obstruction to the rear seat belt inspection, a physical check of the rear occupant seat belt tension, locking mechanism, and the integrity of the webbing should be conducted to ensure they are fully functional and free from fraying. Finally, even with a clean MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants a visual inspection of the braking system for any signs of surface corrosion on the discs, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear debris and heat-cycle the components. Listen for any squealing or grinding noises during low-speed braking and check for any pedal judder, which would indicate uneven pad deposits or disc warping. Ensuring the suspension feels composed over bumps will confirm that the lower usage has kept the various linkages and bushes in a healthy state.
