2018 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · EY18 EWJ

The Nissan X-Trail presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 7 May 2025, where the tester passed the vehicle at 76,862 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. In May 2024 the tester issued a pass at 64,612 miles after a same-day fail at 64,547 miles listing no defects, and on 3 May 2023 a pass at 53,533 miles followed a fail the same day with no defects logged. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative re-tests rather than unresolved mechanical faults. Mileage has accumulated predictably for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 53,533 miles in May 2023, rose to 64,547 miles by May 2024, and reached 76,862 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year, marginally above the typical 9,608 but consistent with private use. Annual May test dates show no gaps or sudden accumulation hinting at neglected periods. Despite the clean ledger, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection. The 2018 X-Trail at 76,862 miles warrants hands-on checks of suspension bushes, coil springs, steering joints and brake calipers for binding. The tester logged no corrosion or structural concerns, yet underbody structural integrity around sills and subframes should be verified for rust. Tyres and wiper blades show no recorded wear, but consumable items at this age may still need replacement. The repeated fail entries with zero defects merit scrutiny of the original DVSA test certificates to rule out data anomalies. Owner history implies basic upkeep was performed on schedule, though the unexplained failures slightly cloud the picture. A pre-purchase examination by a qualified mechanic remains prudent.
