2016 Nissan X-Trail 1.6L Diesel · SP66 UOD

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-11 recorded three issues: nearside front tyre worn close to legal limit, nearside front suspension arm pin or bush worn, and nearside front track rod end ball joint with slight play. These align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, suggesting ongoing wear in suspension components and tyre condition. A consistent trend of tyres approaching the legal limit has appeared since 2025, with multiple tyres near the limit in 2025 and 2026. This could indicate regular use, inconsistent maintenance, or potential alignment issues. Suspension components like track rod ends, ball joints, and anti-roll bar bushes have shown minor wear since 2024, but none have escalated to critical failure. The condition appears stable rather than worsening. While similar issues recur, there is no evidence of increasing severity. The 2024 MOT included a failure for the windscreen wiper, which was later resolved, and no major defects were recorded in 2023. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,671 miles over 10 years is typical, suggesting average usage without extreme wear or prolonged inactivity. Buyers should prioritise inspecting tyre tread depth and condition, checking for uneven wear that may hint at alignment or suspension problems.
