2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · D5 LLM

The 2016 Nissan X-Trail presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 March 2026 at 70,447 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged. Prior to that, the test on 19 March 2026 recorded a fail at 70,424 miles, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects cited, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. The same pattern repeats in March 2025, where a fail on 18 March at 64,254 miles with no defects preceded a clean pass on 25 March at 64,295 miles. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,045 miles per year against the 10-year age, with the odometer climbing from 59,285 miles at the March 2024 pass to 64,295 in March 2025 and 70,447 by March 2026. The spread reflects light, consistent use rather than harsh high-mileage wear. Records are sparse, showing only three passes and two defect-free fails across the visible period, so the file gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. Because no advisories or defects appear in any entry, the MOT record alone raises no warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The repeated no-defect fails suggest the previous owner may have mishandled paperwork or presentation at the testing station rather than skipped mechanical upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as a clean MOT does not measure worn coil springs or intermittent binding until failure occurs. Given the low yearly distance and clean test lineage, the X-Trail reads as a lightly used family vehicle with no recorded deterioration trend. Verify service history against the mileage gaps and confirm the March 2026 fail cause with the testing centre, since the DVSA log omits the reason.
