2017 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · BA04 BAT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 September 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating a stable mechanical status following the rectification of a minor washer system fault. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement compared to the previous year. While the 2024 test highlighted significant failures regarding braking components and tyre tread depth, the most recent inspection confirms these issues were addressed, suggesting the current owner has returned the vehicle to a compliant standard. At 50,823 miles over a nine-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 5,647 miles per annum, which is notably low for a Nissan X-Trail. The steady, consistent accumulation of mileage between 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This usage pattern typically reduces the risk of long-term storage issues such as seized calipers or fuel degradation, though it does place a higher reliance on the quality of annual servicing rather than high-mileage wear. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the underbody, as the 2024 test explicitly noted surface corrosion. While this did not escalate to a failure, it warrants a close look at the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points to ensure the oxidation remains superficial and has not compromised structural integrity. Given the history of worn brake discs in both 2023 and 2024, verify the current thickness and condition of the discs and pads to ensure they were replaced with quality components rather than budget alternatives. Check the windscreen washer system functionality to confirm the 2025 repair remains effective, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing consistent with a vehicle that may have spent significant time parked outdoors.
