2003 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · LM53 GDK

The 2026-01-12 MOT at 234,859 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Earlier tests in January 2024 and January 2025 also passed without noted faults, confirming consistent compliance despite two prior failures that were resolved before retesting. Mileage has risen from 223,939 miles in the January 2024 test to 234,859 miles in the January 2026 test, an increase of roughly 10,920 miles over 25 months, or about 4,368 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 10,211 miles per year for a 23‑year‑old vehicle. The two consecutive failures in January 2024 (223,935 miles) and January 2025 (230,048 miles) show rapid mileage gain of 6,113 miles in 28 days, suggesting intensive use during that period, but the subsequent passes demonstrate that any identified issues were corrected before the next inspection. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and check the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks; the absence of recorded defects in recent tests suggests these areas are currently sound, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm.
