2007 Nissan X-Trail 2.5L Diesel · OU07 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 6 September 2024 at 172,662 miles, confirming its roadworthiness status is up to date. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has achieved clean passes in its last three annual inspections. While the record shows immediate retests following initial failures in 2023 and 2024, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor issues rather than significant mechanical failures. Accumulating 172,662 miles over nineteen years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 9,087 miles per annum, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression remains steady, with the most significant jump occurring between July 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 15,437 miles. This indicates the vehicle has seen regular, active use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent the issues associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as high-mileage Nissan X-Trails of this generation are prone to corrosion. Given the clean MOT history, it is essential to verify that these passes were not achieved by masking underlying issues with surface-level repairs. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. A thorough check for oil leaks around the engine and drivetrain will also provide a clearer picture of the vehicle's long-term mechanical health beyond the scope of a basic safety inspection.
