2017 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · PL17 ACO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on June 2 2026 at 84,057 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable to improving, as the previous records show recurring mechanical wear and minor failures that have since been addressed. The most recent test indicates that the current owner is proactive in rectifying safety-related items and consumables that were flagged in prior years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,340 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between the 2021 test at 29,137 miles and the 2026 test at 84,057 miles, representing a jump of roughly 11,000 miles per annum during that period. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has been in regular operation, which has likely prevented the issues often associated with long periods of standing, such as seized components or degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a history of frequent wear. Between 2022 and 2023, the tester repeatedly flagged thin brake pads and worn front discs. While the 2026 test showed no defects, a physical inspection is required to ensure the current components have sufficient life and that the calipers are not binding or corroding. The offside front oil leak noted in 2023 also warrants a visual check of the engine seals to ensure the leak remains minor and has not developed into a significant seep. Consumable maintenance also requires verification during a physical viewing. The 2024 failure due to an ineffective wiper blade and the 2025 advisory regarding a perished offside rear tyre indicate that rubber-based components should be thoroughly checked for further cracking or uneven wear. Given the age of the Nissan X-Trail, an inspection of the suspension bushes and exhaust system is advisable to check for structural corrosion or play, although these were not specifically highlighted in the recent MOT history.
