2017 Nissan X-Trail 2.0L Diesel · AP66 FHS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 106,853 miles failed due to an offside front track rod end with excessive play, a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage defect, and a failed rear fog lamp. While the vehicle passed just two miles later after these repairs, the presence of multiple suspension-related failures suggests that steering components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between March 2023 (53,404 miles) and May 2026 (106,855 miles), where the vehicle covered over 53,000 miles in just three years. This accelerated mileage explains the increased wear observed on consumables in the more recent records. Between 2021 and 2023, the vehicle was driven much lower distances, with no defects recorded, indicating a period of relatively light use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. Recurring issues with track rod ends and anti-roll bar links indicate that the rubber bushings and joints may be reaching the end of their service life. The record also shows a history of thin brake pads, noted in both 2019, 2020, and 2025, which suggests the owner frequently neglected brake maintenance until components were critically low. Given the history of tyre perishing and structural cuts noted in 2019, the current condition of the sidewalls and tread depth requires close scrutiny to ensure no furtherrelated degradation is present.
