2019 Nissan X-Trail 1.7L Diesel · BU52 STU

The Nissan X-Trail presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 47,155 miles showing no defects—an outcome consistent with the three preceding annual passes in August 2024 (42,695 miles) , August 2023 (37,464 miles) , and September 2022 (32,864 miles) . The sole anomaly is a failed MOT on 21 September 2022 (32,863 miles) , which lacks recorded defects, suggesting either a clerical error or a minor, unlogged issue resolved before retesting three days later. This pattern indicates stable roadworthiness with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns, though the absence of advisories means routine maintenance—such as tyre condition, brake wear, or suspension checks—has not been formally documented by the tester. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,736 miles per year , which reflects moderate but consistent driving. The gap between the 2022 failure and the September 2022 retest (just one mile apart) suggests a swift resolution of whatever caused the initial failure, while the subsequent annual tests show steady mileage progression without spikes or prolonged inactivity. The most recent test in July 2025 —just ten months prior—confirms the vehicle remains within MOT validity, though buyers should verify if any servicing or wear items (e.g., brake pads, suspension bushes) have been addressed since then. Given the lack of defects or advisories in the MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of brake components , including disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper binding, despite no historical issues. Suspension integrity—particularly coil springs, bushings, and ball joints —should be checked for wear, as these are not routinely flagged in MOTs but can degrade without obvious symptoms. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, should also be examined, as rust progression can occur between tests. While the MOT history is reassuring, the absence of advisories implies minimal documented intervention, so a pre-purchase check of fluid levels, tyre condition, and undercarriage integrity is advisable.
