2016 NISSAN X-TRAIL1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 at 61,253 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a FAIL with no recorded issues—a discrepancy likely due to data entry error. Previous tests from 2024-09-11 (52,863 miles), 2023-09-26 (43,413 miles), and 2022-09-29 (33,145 miles) all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the records, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the absence of detailed defect descriptions limits definitive assessment of critical systems like suspension, brakes, or exhaust integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 61,253 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,125 miles over its 10-year lifespan, reflecting typical wear for its age. Annual MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 show no gaps in compliance, though the 2025 tests on the same date raise questions about record accuracy. No rapid mileage spikes or extended periods of inactivity are apparent, which might otherwise indicate neglect or irregular use. The clean history suggests no major mechanical failures, but the lack of detailed technical findings means underlying issues—such as corrosion or worn suspension components—remain unverified. A physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden faults. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these components often degrade gradually without MOT alerts. Check for exhaust system corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter, and assess tyre tread depth against the 1.6mm legal minimum. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of its structural integrity, especially under the chassis and body seams, to rule out rust or fatigue cracks.
