2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · ND56 AEP

The 2006 Nissan X-Trail has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-01 at 120,533 miles, with no defects recorded. The prior 2023-12-07 test at 116,159 miles also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2023-12-06 at 116,157 miles—just one day earlier—showed no recorded defects. This suggests either a technical anomaly or a minor fault resolved swiftly. Subsequent tests from 2022 and 2021 confirm consistent compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The vehicle’s maintenance history reflects a stable pattern, with no escalating issues detected in the last four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,027 miles annually. The 2021-12-17 test at 94,459 miles to the 2025-10-01 test at 120,533 miles shows steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or extended inactivity periods. The MOT records are sparse but clean, indicating no significant defects requiring urgent repair. However, the lack of detailed advisories or minor faults in the logs may reflect either meticulous upkeep or limited testing depth. The 2023-12-06 failure, though unexplained, does not appear to have led to recurring issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in older SUVs, and check for corrosion in the underbody, particularly around the chassis and exhaust. The brake system, though unmarked in the records, warrants scrutiny for uneven disc wear or caliper binding, which may not trigger immediate MOT failures. The exhaust system’s integrity should also be verified, as age-related leaks or rust could compromise emissions and safety. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
