Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Your primary focus should be the front suspension. The June 2026 MOT specifically identifies perished ball joint dust covers and play in the anti-roll bar ball joint; these are known weak points for the X-Trail. Use these specific advisories to negotiate the price, as they will likely require replacement soon to avoid a future MOT failure.
Verify the service history to see if the rear brake pads, which caused a failure in July 2024, were replaced with quality parts. Additionally, check if the recurring windscreen damage mentioned since 2023 has been addressed or if it has developed into a crack that could fail a future test.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for higher mileage, though costs will increase as the vehicle ages. You should budget for standard diesel fuel costs and the appropriate VED tax band for a 2015 diesel SUV.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher for this specific example due to the identified suspension wear. Insurance groups for the X-Trail are generally moderate, but the combined cost of fuel, tax, insurance, and the necessary suspension repairs will impact the first year's budget.
Carefully inspect the front suspension assembly. The MOT history explicitly notes 'severely deteriorated' and 'perished' ball joint dust covers and play in the anti-roll bar linkage, which aligns with aggregate model data identifying suspension arms as a top failure reason. Check for any grease leaking from these joints.
Examine the windscreen for the damage noted in four consecutive MOT tests (2023-2026) to ensure it does not obstruct the driver's view. Finally, check the rear brake discs for any scoring or uneven wear following the 2024 failure for pads thinner than 1.5mm.
This 2015 black Nissan X-Trail 1.6 diesel has recorded 111,019 miles. Its MOT history includes one failure in 2024 due to worn rear brake pads and a recurring advisory for windscreen damage. The most recent test in June 2026 indicates several deteriorating suspension components, including perished ball joint dust covers.
The X-Trail has an average MOT pass rate of 80.2%, with suspension arms and corrosion being among the most common failure points.
