2015 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · EY65 ABF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 73,221 miles without any defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the car suffered from failures in the past, the transition to a clean-sheet result suggests that the current owner has addressed identified mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,656 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There is a significant gap in recorded data between October 2022 and November 2023, during which the vehicle covered 15,467 miles. Since the last test in March 2026, the car has covered only 2,191 miles. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on high-friction drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or corrosion if the vehicle has sat for extended periods. Despite the recent clean pass, the failures in October 2022 and November 2023 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific faults that require attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as these are common points of failure on the X-Trail model. Given the history of failures, check for signs of binding brake calipers or the condition of the control arm bushes. The lack of structural advisories in the latest records suggests the chassis remains sound, but a close look at the underbody for surface corrosion is necessary to ensure no hidden rust is developing between the test intervals.
