2017 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · PL17 AAY

The 2026‑06‑23 MOT confirms the 2017 Nissan X‑Trail remains roadworthy, but the failure on rear brake disc wear and pad thickness below 1.5 mm indicates a recent decline in maintenance focus. All earlier tests from 2020 through 2025 recorded no defects, showing a stable maintenance history until this latest result. At 59,548 miles the vehicle averages 6,616 miles per year, a figure consistent with its nine‑year age. Mileage increments show steady growth: from 22,992 miles in June 2021 to 28,739 miles in June 2022 (+5,747), then to 34,491 miles in June 2023 (+5,752), a larger jump to 52,855 miles in June 2024 (+11,210), and finally to 59,548 miles in June 2026 (+6,693). No extended periods of low mileage are evident, suggesting regular use. A buyer should therefore examine the rear brake assembly for scoring, pitting or excessive wear on the discs and verify pad thickness, and test for binding calipers or seized pistons. Inspection of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable, as is a visual check for structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, and an assessment of exhaust emissions and pipe integrity. Overall the vehicle shows a stable maintenance record up to the latest test, with the only notable fault being rear brake wear; addressing these items promptly will restore confidence in its continued roadworthiness.
