2017 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · SL58 FLY

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the September 2025 MOT, passing with only an advisory that the nearside front tyre tread is close to the legal limit. Rear brake discs have been flagged each year for pitting but not for structural weakening, and brake pipe corrosion appeared in the 2024 test but was not re‑flagged in 2025. The pattern suggests a stable maintenance record, with tyre wear now emerging as the newest concern. Mileage has risen to 40,863 miles after nine years, averaging roughly 4,540 miles per year – well below typical usage for a 2017 model. The log shows a steady increase: 21,249 miles in August 2021, 24,872 miles in August 2022 (+3,623), 29,454 miles in September 2023 (+4,582), 34,178 miles in September 2024 (+4,724), and 40,863 miles in September 2025 (+6,685). The most recent year records a slightly larger jump, hinting at a modest uptick in annual mileage but no abrupt spikes or long gaps that would suggest periods of neglect. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake discs, confirming that the remaining thickness exceeds the minimum legal limit and that scoring has not progressed. Visual inspection of the rear brake pipes for rust, corrosion, or compromised grease coating is advisable, as the 2024 advisory indicates a potential long‑term issue. The front tyre tread, especially on the nearside, should be measured to ensure sufficient depth remains. While no suspension or structural advisories appear in the record, a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and under‑body for hidden corrosion will complete a prudent assessment before purchase.
