2020 Nissan X-Trail 1.7L Diesel · LM20 NMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 48,776 miles identified thin brake pads on both the nearside and offside front. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the presence of these advisory-level-related items indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,700 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 12,200 miles before the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, but the failure in July 2024 at 36,559 miles due to a loose battery indicates that basic security checks were neglected by the owner during that period. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the July 2024 record flagged both front tyres for uneven inner and outer edge wear. This pattern typically indicates incorrect camber, worn suspension bushes, or faulty tracking components that have not been addressed. Additionally, the front brake discs and pads should be measured physically, as the 2026 report confirms the pads are significantly thin. The battery mounting bracket should also be verified for absolute security to prevent the short circuit risk that previously caused a failure.
