2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.5L Petrol · CV06 AEC

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 59,539 miles. The trend over the past three years shows consistent passing results, with no recurring issues identified. The 2022 test failure at 47,167 miles is noted but lacks defect details, which may indicate a procedural error. All subsequent tests, including the 2023 and 2024 MOTs, confirmed no faults, suggesting the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage of 59,539 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 2,977 annual miles, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate dry rot in rubber components and stiffness in mechanical systems. The MOT intervals align with annual testing, but the 2022 test failure at 47,167 miles—just two days before a subsequent passing test at 47,169 miles—raises questions about data accuracy. No defects were recorded in the 2023–2025 tests, indicating no immediate concerns. A buyer should inspect for signs of dry-aged components, such as cracked suspension bushes or corroded coil springs, given the low mileage and potential storage conditions. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may develop over time. Structural integrity should be verified, as rust or corrosion in body panels is not flagged in the MOT history but could persist unnoticed. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern reflects basic upkeep, but deeper inspection is advised to confirm long-term reliability.
