2006 NISSAN X-TRAIL2.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 116,286 miles, the car failed due to an illegal nearside rear tyre. Although it passed the immediate retest, the tester flagged advisories for thin rear brake pads and worn discs, alongside worn front lower suspension arm bushes. This indicates that the owner is only addressing components once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 116,286 miles, this twenty-year-old Nissan X-Trail averaged approximately 5,814 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle was used sparingly or sat stationary for extended periods. Between October 2023 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 5,304 miles, maintaining this consistent low usage pattern. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, infrequent use on a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is reflected in the suspension findings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front and rear suspension assemblies. The record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages, track rod ends, and arm bushes. You must check for play in the steering joints and cracking in the rubber bushings. Furthermore, the rear braking system requires immediate attention as the latest report confirms pads and discs nearing the end of their service life. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, as the record does not explicitly detail the integrity of the frame beyond the mechanical failures noted.
