2007 Nissan X-Trail 2.0L Diesel · NA57 AAV

The vehicle currently presents an uncertain roadworthiness status following a failure in the most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 204,618 miles. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the recent failure indicates a breakdown in the previously stable trend. The fact that the vehicle failed in October 2024 only to pass just two days prior to a previous test suggests a specific mechanical failure or a marginal component issue that required immediate attention to meet legal standards. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical usage for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 10,154 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The subsequent 2,956 miles recorded between October 2024 and October 2025 indicate continued regular operation, though the total figure exceeding 200,000 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components regardless of the clean MOT history. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the underbody and structural integrity, as high-mileage X-Trails are prone to corrosion in the sills and mounting points. Given the recent failure without recorded defects in the summary provided, the buyer should verify the specific reason for the October 2025 failure to determine if it relates to emissions or a mechanical leak. Close examination of the suspension bushes and rubber split is also essential, as these components typically reach the end of their life at this mileage and can lead to unpredictable handling if not proactively replaced.
