If a Nissan X-Trail fails, does it fail again?

32.8% of Nissan X-Trails that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 24.9% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 27,374). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 34.9% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Nissan X-Trail cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Nissan X-Trails tested at age 5, about 16 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 36. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 7 and 8, 5.72 percentage points (2024).

Nissan X-Trail MOT: quick answers

What is the Nissan X-Trail first-time MOT pass rate?

70.2% of first attempts passed in 2024 (91,761 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 91,761 primary tests: 29.79% failed first time and 74.0% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 112.6 is shown separately.
