2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · NA56 XUS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 27 April 2026 at 88,237 miles. While the overall trend shows a stable pass rate, the failure just six days prior to this test indicates a lapse in pre-test maintenance. Despite this recent setback, the vehicle maintained a clean record for the previous three years, suggesting that when faults are identified, they are addressed sufficiently to Passing the subsequent annual inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage recorded between January 2023 (76,959 miles) and April 2024 (77,591 miles), where only 632 miles were covered over fourteen months. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion within braking systems, which is consistent with the mechanical-related failures observed. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 21 April 2026 failure revealed a fractured nearside coil spring and play in both front anti-roll bar ball joints. Although these were reportedly repaired to secure the pass, the age of the components suggests they may be nearing the end of their functional life. Given the vehicle's age, it is also essential to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and inspect the brake calipers, as these areas are prone to seizing irrespective of low mileage figures.
