NISSAN X-TRAIL2011 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend showing improvement after a period of recurring suspension wear. The most recent MOT conducted in October 2025 at 144,808 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the owner likely addressed the cumulative mechanical issues identified in previous years. This represents a positive shift from the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the vehicle consistently flagged advisories and minor failures related to the steering and suspension components. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,650 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 105,694 miles and October 2024 at 121,242 miles, the car covered roughly 15,500 miles, followed by another 23,600 miles leading up to the October 2025 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular road miles without long periods of stationary-related neglect. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows a history of wear in anti-roll bar linkages, ball joints, and suspension arm bushings. While the 2025 test was clean, the recurring nature of these rubber and metal components between 2022 and 2024 suggests these parts are prone to degradation on this chassis. The offside mirror was also noted as damaged across three consecutive tests, which should be checked for structural integrity of the mounting despite passing the MOT.
