2023 Nissan X-Trail Tekna E-4ORCE Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF23 ABZ

A consistent record of compliance defines this vehicle, which achieved a clean pass with no defects recorded during its most recent MOT inspection on 8 June 2026. Given that the vehicle has only been subjected to a single statutory test due to its age, there is no historical pattern of recurring faults, structural corrosion, or component degradation to indicate long-term mechanical instability. The absence of any advisories at this stage suggests that the primary safety-critical systems, including the braking, steering, and suspension assemblies, met the required standards for roadworthiness at the time of the assessment. Accumulating approximately 14,993 miles over a three-year period results in an average annual usage of roughly 4,998 miles. This low-mileage profile is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this class, which often results in less wear on high-friction drivetrain components and chassis bushings compared to high-utilisation examples. However, prospective buyers should note that limited usage over a short timeframe can occasionally lead to premature surface oxidation on exposed metal components or the potential for brake discs to develop minor surface corrosion if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods between drives. During the test drive, focus your attention on the performance of the e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system and the transition between regenerative and friction braking. Listen specifically for any metallic clicking or knocking noises from the front suspension struts or steering rack when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed humps, as these are common points of early wear in heavier electrified SUVs. Ensure the steering remains centred without pulling to either side, and verify that the electronic parking brake engages and disengages smoothly without any audible dragging or warning lights appearing on the dashboard. Inspect the condition of the brake discs for any signs of pitting or uneven wear patterns that may have developed during periods of inactivity. While the MOT record confirms the vehicle met safety standards, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for perishing and a check of the under-body for any signs of moisture or fluid staining around the electric motor housings or cooling lines are advisable. Given the complexity of the hybrid powertrain, confirm that the vehicle enters its various drive modes without hesitation and that the transition between petrol engine engagement and electric-only operation is seamless under light throttle inputs.
