2015 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · DA65 NKD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-16 at 65,658 miles recorded a pass with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency in the DVSA records complicates assessing the current roadworthiness trend. Previous tests from 2024-09-17 (57,841 miles) to 2022-09-16 (43,533 miles) all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance history over the past three years. However, the conflicting 2025 test results require clarification, as they may reflect administrative errors or unrecorded remedial work. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,658 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 5,969 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, electrical systems, and fluid degradation. The MOT records show no gaps longer than 12 months between tests, implying consistent servicing, though the lack of defects in all entries may understate minor issues like tyre tread wear or corrosion. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system, as these components are prone to degradation in older vehicles with low mileage. The absence of brake-related or structural defects in MOTs does not eliminate the need to check for binding calipers, brake disc warping, or rust on the chassis. Additionally, verifying the condition of the battery, belts, and hoses is critical, as prolonged inactivity can lead to unexpected failures despite clean MOT results.
