2012 Nissan X-Trail 2.0L Diesel · NX12 AHG

The 2012 Nissan X-Trail has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT test on 2026-02-13 at 128,196 miles, where it passed without defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2024, with the exception of a failed MOT on 2025-02-04 at 117,533 miles, which recorded no defects. The absence of recorded issues in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, though the single failed test without explanation raises a minor anomaly. No structural or mechanical failures have been documented in the history, indicating no critical risks to safety or compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,196 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 9,157 miles per year, a typical rate for its age. The MOT records show gradual accumulation, with 107,241 miles in 2024-02-09, rising to 119,093 miles by 2025-03-19, and reaching 128,196 miles in 2026. A brief drop in mileage between 2025-02-04 (117,533 miles) and 2025-02-05 (117,538 miles) suggests minimal use during that period, but no significant gaps or rapid wear are evident. The clean record of passing tests since 2024 implies consistent maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in 14-year-old vehicles, and check for corrosion in the exhaust system, which may degrade over time. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these components often show signs of fatigue. While no specific faults were recorded, the age and mileage justify a thorough check of fluid levels, tyre tread, and steering components to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability. The MOT history provides limited direct evidence of faults, but proactive inspection remains essential for a used car of this vintage.
