2005 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · KA05 ADO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 7 November 2024 at 151,205 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test flagged worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs as an advisory. While this did not trigger a failure, it indicates the braking system is reaching the end of its service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 131,292 miles in October 2021 to 151,205 miles in November 2024. This suggests regular, moderate use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seal perishment and battery degradation. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system given the November 2024 advisory. The pitting and scoring on the front discs suggest they may require immediate replacement to avoid further deterioration. The October 2021 test highlighted worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front. Although these were listed as advisories, the buyer should check if these components were ever replaced or if the suspension now exhibits excessive play. The October 2023 entry mentions the fitting of sill covers. In a vehicle of this age, sill covers are often used to mask previous corrosion or structural repairs. A thorough inspection of the chassis and sills is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle is sound and that the covers are not concealing significant rust.
