2019 Nissan X-Trail 1.7L Diesel · LS69 VCL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 61,736 miles, the car initially failed due to misaligned washer jets and a noisy offside rear wheel bearing. While it passed the retest the following day, the presence of the wheel bearing defect indicates a component reaching the end of its service life that will require imminent attention to prevent total failure. The mileage history is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 49,793 miles and the April 2026 test at 61,736 miles, the vehicle covered 11,943 miles. This steady accumulation suggests typical usage patterns. However, the 2024 inspection at 54,074 miles revealed a period of neglect regarding consumables, with four tyres flagged for perishing or wearing to the legal limit, suggesting the previous owner deferred routine maintenance for several intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the 2024 test flagged worn rear bushes on both front lower arms. While these did not result in a failure at that time, rubber degradation is a precursor to handling instability and accelerated uneven tyre wear. The offside rear wheel bearing noted in the latest report should also be verified during a test drive to ensure the noise has not worsened beyond a minor advisory. Furthermore, the condition of the washer system should be checked, as the recent 2026 failure indicates potential leaks or blocked nozzles that may have been temporarily adjusted rather than fully repaired.
