2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · DY66 YCC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 at 78,655 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in late 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid mechanical failures during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 5,206 miles, which reflects steady, low-intensity usage. A notable data point occurs in November 2023 at 74,904 miles, where the vehicle failed a test only to pass a retest the following day. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue, likely a bulb or a consumable item, that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the clean nature of recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to the X-Trail at this age and mileage bracket. While the MOT does not flag current defects, the inspector should check for early-stage corrosion on subframes and exhaust components, as these are prone to degradation over a decade. Checking the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from rubber perish and cracking regardless of distance driven.
