2014 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · GY64 PDO

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-18 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 116,174 miles. The test history since 2023 shows a consistent pattern of passing without failings, though there is an anomaly in February 2025 where the vehicle was tested twice on the same date—once failing and once passing—both at 107,678 miles. This suggests either a retest after a minor oversight or a temporary administrative error, as no defects were logged. The most recent test, just five months ago, aligns with the vehicle’s current condition, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear that would only be detectable through a thorough mechanical inspection. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,700 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, as the recorded mileage increases steadily from 89,842 miles in February 2023 to 116,174 miles today. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, which is standard practice. However, the absence of any advisories or defects across multiple tests does not account for the natural degradation of high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which are critical areas for wear beyond the scope of an MOT. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The braking system—including rear calipers, discs, and master cylinder—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these issues often develop gradually without triggering MOT failings. Additionally, the subframe and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise structural integrity, particularly in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The exhaust system and emissions control components, though not flagged, warrant verification for leaks or degraded catalytic converter efficiency, which can go undetected without a diagnostic scan.
