2007 Nissan X-Trail MOT pass rate and common faults

MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.

2,960 Nissan X-Trail cars first used in 2007 had an MOT in 2025, at about 18 years old, and 51.5% passed first time. That is below the 57.4% for all cars first used in 2007.

The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.
