2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · MA06 NPN

The 2006 Nissan X-Trail presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-03 at 137,828 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior test on the same date in 2025 was a fail, though no defects were listed, suggesting potential minor issues resolved between tests. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2024 show consistent passing with no recorded faults, indicating the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension defects in the records implies no critical mechanical failures, though the alternation between pass and fail outcomes without explicit details warrants caution. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,891 miles annually. The 2023-07-06 test at 132,490 miles and subsequent 2024-07-09 test at 135,167 miles show steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods. The 2024-07-03 fail at 135,152 miles occurred just 16 days before a pass at 135,167 miles, suggesting a possible temporary issue addressed quickly. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, which may reflect either meticulous maintenance or limited testing depth, as no advisories or critical faults were logged. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The exhaust system and brake components, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the alternation between pass and fail outcomes without detailed explanations implies potential minor faults that may require further scrutiny. The vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough check of structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body mounts, to confirm no hidden damage or rust compromises safety.
