2015 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · GC65 WPJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a period of clean passes following earlier failures. The most recent MOT conducted on October 2023 at 131,268 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any outstanding issues prior to that test. While the history shows some intermittent failures, the current trend toward clean certificates suggests that the mechanical and structural components were operating within parameters that meet legal standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 107,139 miles and October 2022 at 120,759 miles, the car covered 13,620 miles, showing steady use. From the October 2022 test to the 2023 test, it clocked another 10,509 miles. The three-year gap since the last recorded MOT means the vehicle is currently overdue for its test, which necessitates an immediate inspection to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the extended interval. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the previous failures in 2021 and 2022 suggest these areas are prone to issues on this example. Given the high mileage of 131,268 miles, checking for signs of worn suspension bushes, subframe corrosion, and leaking coil springs is vital. The tester should also examine the brake calipers for signs of binding or excessive rust on the discs, as these components are often the first points of failure on high-mileage SUVs like the X-Trail.
