2017 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · KW17 CNC

This 2017 Nissan X-Trail has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 3 March 2026 , where it passed without any defects at 65,967 miles . The absence of advisories or failures across all five recorded tests—including a rare duplicate entry in February 2023—indicates no recurring mechanical issues. However, the 14-month gap since the last MOT (as of July 2026) means the vehicle has not been formally inspected for critical components like suspension integrity, brake binding, or exhaust emissions. While the lack of failures suggests consistent upkeep, the extended period without a test introduces uncertainty over wear items such as coil springs, suspension bushes, or corrosion in wheel arches. The mileage progression of 7,330 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the 12,245-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests (from 43,358 to 51,546) suggests either a period of higher usage or a temporary lapse in mileage recording. The duplicate MOT entries in February 2023 —one pass, one fail—are anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than mechanical failure, but they warrant scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven between tests. No advisories or defects in the record imply that major systems (steering, drivetrain, electrical) were not overlooked, but the absence of any warnings also means no prior indications of hidden issues like differential leaks or timing belt wear. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly rear coil springs and bushes , as these are common wear items not always flagged until failure. The braking system —despite no past failures—should be tested for binding calipers or uneven pad wear , especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or subframes should be checked, as this is often a silent risk in older models. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around joints, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT history suggests no major neglect, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
