2009 Nissan X-Trail Sport DCI 2.0L Diesel · SJ09 UKB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on March 9, 2026, 157,710 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the immediate failures in February 2026 and January 2025 indicate a history of intermittent faults. This suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they cause an MOT failure, rather than replacing developing components before they reach a failure point. At 157,710 miles over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,277 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a diesel SUV of this age. The data reveals a significant spike in usage between November 2023 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in just fifteen months. More recently, the mileage has accumulated rapidly, with nearly 12,000 miles recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This usage puts expected strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting for structural corrosion, which is a common failure point for this generation X-Trail. Given the recent failures despite no recorded defects, close attention should be paid to the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake calipers. The high mileage also necessitates a check of the turbocharger and clutch assembly, as these components often approach the end of their functional life around the 150,000-mile mark.
