2020 Nissan X-Trail 1.3L Petrol · LT20 NHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 22,575 miles passed, it followed a failure just mile prior due to an ineffective windscreen wiper. The appearance of advisories for pitted rear brake discs and tyre degradation in that pass indicates that the owner is now only addressing faults once they reach an inspection threshold, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,762 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the data, showing only 6,285 miles driven between the June 2023 and September 2025 tests over more than two years. However, such low mileage often leads to rubber components and metal surfaces suffering from age-related degradation. The cracking and perishing of the rear tyres noted in 2025 is a direct consequence of the vehicle standing for long periods rather than wearing down the tread. A buyer must physically inspect the rear braking system, as the September 2025 record flagged pitted and scored discs. These defects suggest the vehicle has sat stationary long enough for surface corrosion to take hold or that the brakes have been neglected. You should also check the sidewalls of all four tyres for further cracking, as the tester confirmed the rear pair is already perished despite the low mileage. Additionally, verify the offside wiper assembly to ensure the replacement made after the 2025 failure was effective and not merely a temporary fix.
