2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Dig T MHEV CVT

CarHunch is tracking 2,452 2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Dig T MHEV CVT vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Qashqai is a serious red flag: only 5.4% pass their first MOT, compared to the UK average of 80%, and the hybrid variant fares even worse at 5.2%. While dangerous defects are rare (0.2%), the catastrophic first-time pass rate suggests systematic issues affecting nearly all examples tested—this is not normal wear and tear.

These vehicles average just over 20,000 miles, so the failures aren't due to high mileage or age. The zero average failures and advisories per vehicle is misleading; it reflects that most cars fail outright rather than accumulating minor issues. If you're considering this model, demand a pre-purchase inspection by a Nissan specialist focused on the hybrid system and CVT transmission, as whatever's going wrong appears to be widespread and fundamental.

What to check before buying a 2023 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Dig 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.
