2018 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Petrol · DF67 OGZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 8 January 2026 at 41,832 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of escalating consumable wear seen in the 2025 test at 36,806 miles, where the tester flagged thin brake pads on both axles, pitted front brake discs, and two front tyres nearing the legal limit. The transition from the multiple advisories in early 2025 to a clean sheet in early 2026 suggests that the necessary maintenance on braking components and tyres was carried out to rectify the previous year's issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,229 miles per year. The records show a consistent, albeit slow, increase in distance, moving from 11,885 miles in February 2021 to 41,832 miles in January 2026. This low annual usage explains the recurring issues with brake disc pitting and scoring. When vehicles are driven infrequently, brake discs often suffer from surface corrosion and pitting due to lack of heat and friction, a pattern clearly visible in the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 test results. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. While the 2026 test was clear, the history of thin pads and pitted discs indicates that these components are subject to wear and environmental corrosion. Check the thickness of the remaining brake pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure no recent replacements have been neglected or poorly fitted. The 2023 failure regarding an ineffective offside windscreen wiper also suggests that minor peripheral maintenance has occasionally been overlooked. Given the low mileage, the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. Inspect the battery health and the condition of rubber components such as suspension bushes and serpentine belts, which can perish or crack when not regularly used. The lack of structural or suspension-related advisories throughout the recorded history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's underlying integrity.
