Nissan Qashqai (2022)
2022 Nissan Qashqai
CarHunch analysed 139 real MOT records for the 2022 Nissan Qashqai. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Nissan Qashqai is exceptionally reliable at MOT time, with a 98.2% first-time pass rate that crushes the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 1.4% of vehicles. This is a car that's genuinely unlikely to fail its test or throw up serious safety issues in its first few years.
At an average mileage of 27,395, these Qashqais are running well within expected wear for their age, and the tiny failure rate (0.03 per vehicle) combined with minimal advisories (0.2 per vehicle) means owners are spending very little on remedial work between tests. If you're looking at a used 2022 Qashqai, check its service history and full vehicle history report—but the MOT data suggests this generation is fundamentally sound.
What to check before buying a 2022 Nissan Qashqai
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.
