MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this vehicle. The combination of high mileage and a lack of recent MOT history makes this a high-risk prospect for most buyers.
Your first priority should be to verify if the vehicle has a current, valid MOT, as the data provided stops in 2021. If it has been off the road or has an expired MOT, you should factor in the cost of a fresh inspection and potential immediate repairs. Do not rely on the 2021 'pass' as an indicator of current mechanical health.
When inspecting, ask for a detailed service history to see how the 2.2L diesel engine has been maintained over its 217,000+ mile lifespan. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the high mileage and the uncertainty regarding its current roadworthiness. Check for any evidence of recent work that might justify its continued use since 2021.
As a 2.2L diesel, fuel economy will be typical for a large SUV of this era, but expect higher costs compared to modern counterparts. Tax bands for 2004 models vary, so check the specific VED rate for this engine size. Insurance groups for older X-Trails are generally moderate, though age can sometimes increase premiums.
Maintenance costs on a vehicle with this mileage are likely to be higher due to the age of components. Expect to budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost is heavily dependent on how much the vehicle is driven and its current mechanical state.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension arms and any signs of chassis or body corrosion, as these are common failure points for this model. Inspect the tyres thoroughly for tread depth and even wear, as tyres are a frequent MOT failure reason for X-Trails.
Because the last recorded MOT was at 217,730 miles, you must inspect the underside of the vehicle for significant rust or structural decay that may have progressed since 2021. Check all suspension bushings and joints, as high-mileage diesel SUVs often suffer from worn suspension components.
This 2004 Nissan X-Trail features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 217,730 miles as of its last recorded MOT in October 2021. While the most recent test showed no defects, the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT for nearly five years, which is a significant red flag. Given the age and mileage, any potential buyer must account for the high probability of deferred maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failures linked to suspension, corrosion, and tyres.
