2016 NISSAN X-TRAIL1.6L Diesel

The recent MOT record for this 2016 Nissan X-Trail is clean and consistent. The most recent test, on 23 July 2025 at 45,890 miles, passed with no defects recorded. Going back through the history, each annual test has also passed without any advisories, except for a first-time failure on 13 June 2024 at 39,899 miles, which had no defects recorded and was followed by a pass six days later on 19 June 2024 at 39,964 miles. That pattern indicates the failure was likely a minor administrative or rectifiable issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or structural concerns flagged across five years of testing. The mileage is low for the vehicle's age. At roughly 4,589 miles per year, this X-Trail has covered under half the UK average. The jump from 26,369 miles in February 2022 to 35,712 miles in June 2023 shows a period of heavier use, adding about 9,300 miles in sixteen months. Since then, annual mileage has settled to roughly 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with light commuting or occasional long trips rather than prolonged standing. The recorded mileage is plausible and matches the tester's odometer readings across all entries. Because the MOT history shows no defects or advisories, there are no specific mechanical components to flag as high risk. Still, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the usual age-related items for a ten-year-old Nissan. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers can deteriorate without immediate test failure. Brake discs and binding calipers are worth checking, particularly if the vehicle has stood for periods given its low annual mileage. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking and tread depth, and any corrosion on subframes or suspension components should also be verified in person, as a clean MOT record does not guarantee condition between tests.
