2015 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · NJ15 OKX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2026-02-02 at 79,327 miles, following a failure just six days earlier on 2026-01-27. The maintenance trend is broadly improving but inconsistent. The January 2026 failure for an excessively worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush was rectified in time for the February pass, yet the tester still flagged a nearside front suspension bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement, along with a front brake disc worn, pitted or scored. These residual advisories indicate the most recent repair addressed the critical failure without fully renewing the worn front-end components, a pattern of targeted fixes rather than comprehensive overhaul. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable. From 72,073 miles in February 2024 to 76,712 miles in February 2025, the vehicle covered 4,639 miles in twelve months. The jump to 79,327 miles by January 2026 adds a further 2,615 miles in eleven months, confirming consistent use at roughly 7,200 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden accumulations. The record is clean and sequential, with no long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The repeated advisories across multiple tests, the offside front suspension arm bush in January 2026, the nearside inner suspension arm bush in February 2025, and the nearside front suspension bush again in February 2026, point to a front-end that has been running with deteriorating bushes for at least two years. Check the condition of all front suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends for play or perishing. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn or pitted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting the discs are operating at or beyond their service limits. Inspect disc thickness, lip wear, and any scoring, and verify the condition of the pads. The February 2025 test also noted all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit or perished, meaning the current set is likely a replacement and should be checked for date codes and remaining tread depth.
