2018 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Petrol · PF67 GGZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 18 August 2025 at 42,940 miles resulted in a pass, though it flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for early cracking and perishing between the treads. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber degrades due to age rather than friction-related wear. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,368 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of over 9,000 miles between November 2022 and December 2023, followed by a more rapid increase of 1,838 miles in the twelve months leading up to the 2024 test. The lack of defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests that the mechanical components have not been under high stress, though the infrequent usage frequency often leads to flat-spotting tyres or seizing components in brake systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of all tyres, as the 2025 advisory indicates the rear set is reaching the end of its structural life despite sufficient tread depth. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection must also check for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs which frequently occur when a car sits for long periods. The history also notes restricted access in 2021 and 2022 due to a child seat, so the state of the rear seatbelt and mounting points should be verified to ensure there is no hidden damage or wear.
