2012 Nissan X-Trail 2.0L Diesel · VN12 PBV

The 2012 Nissan X-Trail presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 117,356 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,383 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 95,566 miles in October 2021, 104,170 by September 2022, 108,078 in October 2023, 113,532 in November 2024, and 117,356 in October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse in detail but consistently clean, with zero advisories or failures listed across all five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the fault-free record. The absence of advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components at each interval, yet MOT snapshots miss gradual degradation between tests. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity and chassis corrosion, given the vehicle's age and winter exposure risk. Verify brake disc thickness, caliper operation, and coil spring condition by road test. Confirm the timing chain and drivetrain show no slack. The clean history implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but no documentary proof of interim servicing exists within the MOT data.
