2004 Nissan X-Trail 2.2L Diesel · PA04 APY

The 2021‑10‑04 MOT at 213,294 miles recorded a failure, meaning the vehicle was not deemed roadworthy on that occasion. No defects were logged, so the record shows no obvious recurring faults, but the single failure suggests underlying issues that have not been addressed since. With a recorded mileage of 213,294 at 22 years old, the average annual usage of roughly 9,700 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, indicating consistent operation rather than long periods of standing or sporadic high‑intensity use. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that commonly trigger a failure in older Nissan X‑Trails: inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the rear brake calipers for binding, assess the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches. The absence of any logged defects since the 2021 test implies that, if the vehicle has been maintained, the previous owner addressed the issues that caused the failure; nevertheless, a thorough in‑person inspection of the exhaust system, structural integrity, and drivetrain mounts is essential before purchase.
