2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · MP65 FWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and lighting. The most recent test in May 2026 at 97,516 miles passed despite several minor advisories related to lighting defects and worn suspension bushes. While the vehicle is passing, the transition from a failure in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2026 suggests the owner is only addressing faults once they reach the threshold of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per year. There was a significant period of activity between June 2023 at 62,380 miles and May 2024 at 70,036 miles, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in just eleven months. Usage increased to over 27,000 miles in the following year, which explains the accelerated wear observed on brake components and suspension elements noted in the later records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front lower suspension arms, as the rear bushes were flagged as excessively worn in 2024 and remained an advisory in 2026. These components often lead to handling instability and premature uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The braking system also requires immediate attention; the 2025 test noted thin pads and worn front discs, suggesting the system is nearing its functional limit and may require comprehensive replacement to ensure safe stopping. The headlamp lenses have shown a recurring issue with surface degradation or product buildup from 2024 through to 2026. These should be checked for clouding or cracks that could compromise night visibility. Given the history of failing on tyres being near the legal limit in 2024, the current tread depth on all tyres should be measured to ensure they are not again approaching the point of failure.
