2007 Nissan X-Trail 2.0L Diesel · OY57 NPE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. Following the most recent test in May 2025 at 148,851 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to 2023, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems are currently meeting DVSA standards. The single failure in August 2022 was resolved immediately, as the subsequent tests showed no faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 9,554 miles, which reflects regular annual use. The gap between August 2022 and May 2023 shows a lower interval of only 24 miles, likely due to the retest following the initial failure. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps preserve rubber components and seals, yet avoids the premature drivetrain wear often associated with high-mileage SUVs. While the recent history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on age-related degradation common to this model. Given the age and mileage, check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear suspension points, as the MOT does not detect surface rust until it becomes structural. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or fatigue, as these frequently fail on the X-Trail over high distances. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current mechanical state of the braking system.
