2018 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · EA67 HHU

Most recent MOT (30 Mar 2026 – 90,241 mi) The test passed, but the examiner recorded wear on all four brake discs (front and rear, off‑side and near‑side) – pitted or scored but not yet seriously weakened. The same MOT also flagged front lower suspension arm pins/bushes as worn, and rear lower arm bushes as deteriorated, although no excessive movement was noted. Recurring pattern Every MOT since 2022 has highlighted brake wear. In 2022 only the rear outer pads were thin; by 2023 the pads on all wheels were thin, the brake fluid was near the minimum mark, and the discs were already showing scoring. In 2025 the front discs were again noted as worn, and in 2026 the wear has spread to all four discs. Alongside the brake work, the front lower suspension arm pins/bushes have been reported as worn in both 2025 and 2026, with rear bushes deteriorating in the latest test. Trend assessment The brake‑related defects are clearly progressing – from thin pads to disc scoring across all wheels. The suspension observations also suggest a gradual decline, moving from a single front pin/bush issue to multiple front pins and rear bush deterioration. While none of the items have been judged unsafe yet, the pattern indicates a worsening trend that will likely require component replacement in the near future. Mileage versus age At roughly 90,000 mi over eight years the vehicle averages about 11,000 mi per year, which is typical for a family SUV of this age.
