2019 Nissan X-Trail 1.3L Petrol · MM69 VWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 2026-03-26 at 41,984 miles, though the advisory on the nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and edged worn indicates ongoing tyre wear concerns that require monitoring. The maintenance trend shows recurring rear tyre issues over multiple tests—four separate advisories or failures related to rear tyres since late 2022—suggesting either alignment problems, underinflation, or aggressive driving habits rather than isolated consumable failure. While no structural or major mechanical defects have been recorded, the persistence of tyre wear points to an underlying mechanical imbalance that has not been fully resolved. The mileage progression is consistent with low annual usage: from 22,206 miles in December 2022 to 41,984 miles in March 2026, covering roughly 19,778 miles over 39 months—averaging just under 6,000 miles per year. There is a noticeable gap between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, where no MOT records exist, and the vehicle aged two years before the next test. This gap makes it difficult to assess whether any issues developed during that period, though the relatively stable mileage between 2023 and 2024 suggests minimal use or storage. A buyer should closely inspect the rear suspension geometry and alignment, as repeated edge wear on both rear tyres strongly suggests misalignment or worn suspension components such as bushes or control arms. The repeated advisories on tyre condition—especially the progression from slight damage to near-legal wear—warrant a full suspension and steering check, including wheel bearings and brake caliper movement, to rule out binding or uneven loading. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, particularly as the rear brakes may have been subjected to uneven wear, and verify the integrity of the headlamp aim adjustment mechanism, which previously failed on the nearside. Tyre replacement is likely imminent, and checking for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches or suspension mounts would be prudent, though no structural corrosion has yet been flagged.
