2008 Nissan X-Trail 2.5L Diesel · DG08 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 at 103,198 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. Previous tests from 2025-05-01 (102,086 miles) and 2024-02-28 (94,958 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent compliance. The 2023-01-25 test at 86,227 miles similarly showed no defects, reinforcing that the car has remained roadworthy through its 18-year lifespan. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the owner prioritized basic upkeep. The mileage of 103,198 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 5,733 miles annually, which is below the typical usage for this age. A notable gap exists between the 2023-01-25 test (86,227 miles) and the 2024-02-28 test (94,958 miles), covering 8,731 miles over 13 months, implying intermittent use. The same date for a failed and passed test in 2024-02-28 is unclear but may reflect administrative error. The sparse record lacks detailed advisories, which could indicate either meticulous maintenance or limited inspection depth. A buyer should verify suspension components, such as worn suspension bushes or coil springs, which often degrade with age. The low mileage suggests potential issues with seized brake calipers or corrosion in the exhaust system due to infrequent operation. Structural integrity should be checked for rust, particularly in the underbody and door sills, as older vehicles in this class are prone to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed advisories means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical condition.
