Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. The high mileage c
Prioritise verifying the repair of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) fault noted in the January 2024 failure, as this affects critical safety systems. You should also request evidence of any work carried out to address the oil leak and underbody corrosion mentioned in the January 2023 MOT record.
Given the high mileage, check the service history for evidence of major component replacements. Negotiate the price based on the likelihood of further suspension wear, as this vehicle has already required multiple replacements of ball joints and linkages.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, but fuel costs will be influenced by the vehicle's weight and high mileage. Tax and insurance will fall into standard brackets for a 2014 family SUV, though insurance premiums may vary based on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. With a history of suspension failures and noted corrosion, expect a higher annual spend on preventative maintenance and replacement parts to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect the underbody for the corrosion noted in the 2023 MOT, as this is a known weak point for the model. Check the front suspension for any play or noise, specifically the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages, which have previously failed on this specific car.
Look for signs of active oil leaks around the engine, referencing the 2023 advisory. Finally, ensure the SRS warning lamp is not illuminated on the dashboard and that all airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are functioning correctly following the 2024 failure.
This grey 2014 Nissan X-Trail has recorded 150,772 miles as of January 2024, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a pattern of suspension wear, including track rod and anti-roll bar linkage failures, alongside a 2023 advisory for underbody corrosion and an oil leak. While it passed its most recent test, the volume of previous advisories suggests a vehicle that requires close inspection.
The X-Trail has an average MOT pass rate of 80.2%, with common failure points including suspension arms and corrosion.
