2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · DL16 KYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recent shift toward reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 100,480 miles, this followed just one day after a significant failure involving multiple critical safety defects. The transition from clean records in 2023 and 2024 to a cluster of failures in late 2025 suggests that components are only addressed when necessitated by test failure rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The car progressed from 80,091 miles in December 2023 to 91,737 miles in December 2024, reaching 100,480 miles by the end of 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen regular use, though the high-100,000-mile mark places significant stress on rubber components and hydraulic hardware as seen in the recent inspection data. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The 2025 failure highlighted a leaking nearside rear brake pipe and excessive corrosion on the offside rear pipe, alongside thin pads and pitted front discs. While these were rectified to pass, the presence of corrosion on both lower suspension arms indicates an environmental-related structural degradation that may accelerate. The buyer should also check the front anti-roll bar linkages for play and verify the quality of the tyres, as the previous failure noted uneven edge wear and depths nearing the legal limit.
