2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · BB66 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in mechanical maintenance. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 79,857 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a significant improvement over the October 2023 failure where the vehicle was deemed unroadworthy due to tyre safety defects and brake wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 61,631 miles and October 2024 at 71,573 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, showing steady usage. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, which often correlates with less degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front braking system, as the 2023 test flagged front brake discs as worn. While the 2025 test passed without defects, the physical thickness of the pads and the presence of any scoring on the discs should be verified to ensure recent replacement was actually performed. The recurring mention of smearing front wipers across 2023 and 2024 suggests a minor oversight in basic consumables, which should be checked for current condition to ensure visibility in adverse weather. The 2023 failure for exposed cords and perishing tyres on the rear axle indicates a period of neglected basic safety maintenance. Given the age of the vehicle, the current tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking. There are no recorded records of structural corrosion or suspension failures in this history, but a physical check of the chassis for surface rust remains a standard requirement for a Nissan of this era.
