2015 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · CA06 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 73,398 miles. While the vehicle continues to pass, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of minor consumable wear and component degradation. The latest test flagged a ball joint with slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm and noted perishing on both rear tyres. These advisories indicate that while the vehicle is currently legal, several components are approaching the end of their serviceable life. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,673 miles per year, moving from 16,699 miles in April 2018 to 73,398 miles in March 2026. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or fuel degradation. The data shows no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest irregular or heavy-duty usage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a history of brake-related advisories, including thin pads in March 2025 and pitted or scored rear discs in March 2024. The recent advisory regarding the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint suggests that further suspension component replacements may be necessary soon to prevent more significant mechanical failure. The recurring advisories for perishing or cracking tyres, appearing in 2021, 2022, and again in 2026, indicate that the vehicle's rubber components are ageing alongside the chassis. Although these are standard consumable items, the frequency of these notes suggests the owner tends to address them only when they reach the threshold of an MOT advisory. Inspecting the condition of all lateral tyres and checking for any signs of structural corrosion or fluid leaks around the suspension joints would be prudent before purchase.
