2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T MHEV CVT

CarHunch analysed 4,202 real MOT records for the 2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T MHEV CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Qashqai is genuinely reliable by UK standards—a 91.5% first-time pass rate beats the national average of 80% by a clear margin, and dangerous defects are rare at 3.9% of the fleet. The hybrid and petrol variants perform almost identically, so fuel type isn't a deciding factor here.

At 22,500 miles median, these cars are still young and lightly used, which explains why they average just 0.11 failures per vehicle and mostly rack up advisory-level wear items rather than serious faults. If you're buying one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection on the CVT gearbox and check the service history carefully, since this transmission type needs attention to justify its reliability record.

What to check before buying a 2022 Nissan Qashqai Acenta Prem T MHEV CVT

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
