Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When viewing this X-Trail, you should prioritise checking the source of the oil leaks mentioned in the 2023, 2025, and 2026 MOT records. Because these leaks have been noted over multiple years, it is important to determine if they are minor seepage or if they require more significant gasket or seal replacements.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance required for the suspension and braking systems. The most recent MOT (July 2026) highlights several worn suspension arm pins, bushes, and a ball joint that will likely need addressing soon. Additionally, verify that the corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2025 and 2026 have been properly treated or replaced, as corrosion in braking components is a significant safety concern.
As a 2184cc diesel, this X-Trail will offer better fuel economy on long motorway journeys compared to petrol equivalents, though typical SUV fuel consumption applies. Tax and insurance will depend on the specific tax band and your personal profile, but the 2.2L engine generally sits in a mid-range insurance group.
Maintenance costs for this model can be influenced by the age and mileage. Given the recent MOT advisories for suspension components and brake pipes, you should budget for mechanical repairs beyond standard oil changes and filters. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,400-£1,700, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a trend of corrosion, specifically 'rear running gear corrosion' in 2025 and 'corroded brake pipes' in 2025 and 2026. Check the condition of the chassis and brake lines thoroughly.
Secondly, inspect the suspension and steering components. The 2026 MOT recorded play in the nearside front ball joint and wear in multiple suspension arm bushes. Test the vehicle on a test drive to listen for knocks or clunks from the front or rear suspension, which would indicate the wear noted in the MOT records is progressing.
This 2006 silver Nissan X-Trail 2.2 diesel has covered 114,008 miles as of July 2026. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring advisory items, particularly regarding oil leaks and suspension wear. While it has maintained a consistent pass record, the frequency of advisories suggests a need for proactive mechanical attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, corrosion, and tyres.
