Buying Tips for the Nissan X-Trail Mk3 (T32)

  • CVT cars need proof of fluid servicing and a test drive from cold and hot because a smooth Xtronic is crucial.
  • Be wary of 1.6 dCi cars used mainly for short trips, because DPF and turbo trouble can quickly stack up.
  • Check for water ingress, make sure the tailgate struts hold properly and confirm there are no ABS, ESP or start-stop warnings on the dash.
