Our Verdict
This 2005 Nissan X-Trail is a usable older 4x4 with a largely consistent MOT pass record, but buyers should budget for worn suspension and braking components. Approach with measured caution and negotiate on the basis of its age and minor defect history.
When viewing this X-Trail, ask for proof that the December 2023 failure items (nearside front dipped beam, offside plate lamp, and plate condition) were properly fixed, as the same-day retest pass confirms they were addressed. Check for a full service history given the 136,151 miles, paying attention to timing chain or belt intervals on the 2488cc petrol engine and regular oil changes. Use the 2024 advisories — front and rear anti-roll bar ball joint play, thin rear brake pads, and edge-worn front tyres — as leverage to negotiate a price reduction or request replacement before purchase.
As a 2005 2.5-litre petrol SUV, this X-Trail will sit in a higher VED band than modern small cars and return modest fuel economy, likely low 30s mpg in mixed driving. Insurance group data is not provided, but older large 4x4s typically fall into moderate groups; maintenance on a 20-year-old Nissan may include suspension bushes and brake components as seen in the MOT advisories. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep is around £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the front and rear anti-roll bar ball joints for play as both were advised with slight play at the 2024 MOT, and check the front tyres for edge wear and the rear brake pads for thinness noted at the same test. Confirm the headlamp dipped beam and registration plate lamps operate correctly, since these caused the December 2023 failure alongside a deteriorated plate that was replaced. Given the 136,151 mileage, examine underneath for corrosion on the silver body and check the 2488cc petrol engine for oil leaks or rough running not captured in the MOT data.
The silver 2.5-litre petrol LS05ACJ has covered 136,151 miles as of its December 2025 MOT, which is reasonable for a 20-year-old vehicle. Its history shows one failure in December 2023 for lighting and number plate issues, all subsequently resolved, and a 2024 pass with several 'slight' wear items noted. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, so assessment rests solely on the individual MOT record provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Nissan X-Trail, so this assessment relies entirely on the individual history of LS05ACJ.
