Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent suspe
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components, as these have been flagged repeatedly in recent MOT tests. Specifically, check for any remaining play in the steering or knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces, as the track rod ends and suspension arm bushes were identified as issues in August 2026.
Verify that the horn is fully operational, as this was a specific failure point in the most recent test. Ensure you review any accompanying service documentation to see if these suspension components were replaced with high-quality parts or if the repairs were limited to the minimum required for the MOT pass.
As a 2.0-litre diesel engine, this X-Trail will fall into a higher VED tax bracket compared to smaller petrol engines, and fuel economy will be heavily dependent on driving style and load. Given the age and mileage, expect higher-than-average maintenance costs as suspension and steering components reach the end of their service life.
Insurance costs should be calculated based on the vehicle's age and its classification as a large SUV. You should budget for a potential annual spend of £1,400 to £1,700, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for ongoing mechanical attention due to the high mileage.
Focus your inspection on the front axle. The 2026 MOT failure noted excessive play in both the nearside and offside front track rod ends, as well as wear in the offside front suspension arm pin or bush. Ensure these repairs have been carried out to a high standard, as suspension wear is a common failure point for this model.
Check the condition of all four tyres. The 2025 MOT noted cracking and perishing, so verify if these have been replaced recently. Additionally, test the horn and the braking system thoroughly, as the 2026 failure included an inability to test brake performance, which may suggest a temporary mechanical or electrical issue that was rectified for the subsequent pass.
This 2013 Nissan X-Trail has covered 121,857 miles and shows a mixed MOT history over the last three years. The vehicle recorded failures in both 2024 and 2026, primarily concerning suspension and steering components. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the number of items requiring rectification suggests that the vehicle is currently experiencing age-related wear.
The Nissan X-Trail is prone to suspension and steering component wear as mileage increases, which aligns with the failure patterns seen in this vehicle's history.
