2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · EY06 AAK

The most recent MOT test on 2025-05-06 confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy at 149,933 miles, with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance pattern over the past three tests, though the record reveals two failed attempts in 2024 and 2023—both at identical mileages (135,190 and 124,654 miles respectively)—before passing on subsequent attempts. The absence of defects in the latest pass suggests any prior issues were resolved, but the repeated failures at the same mileage intervals imply either a recurring mechanical fault or administrative oversight rather than progressive deterioration. No advisories or major structural concerns were noted in the passing tests, though the lack of detailed failure reasons in the record limits precise diagnosis. The recorded mileage of 149,933 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 7,500 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this age. There are no evident gaps in service intervals, though the repeated MOT failures at precise mileage thresholds (124,654 and 135,190 miles) suggest either a mechanical component failing at predictable wear points or a pattern of deferred maintenance. The most recent test was conducted just over two years ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, but given the vehicle’s age, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify the resolution of any prior faults. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the repeated MOT failures which may correlate with wear in these areas. The braking system should be scrutinised for uneven pad or disc wear, as binding calipers or corroded flex hoses could explain the failed tests without explicit mention. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or cracked pipes—common issues in this model class. The lack of advisories in passing tests does not preclude hidden wear, so attention to fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and tyre tread depth (failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been neglected) is critical.
