Thread: 2006 Nissan X trail

I have been offered a 2006 X trail with 217000 on the clock for around 4 grand. It's tidy with a new wof. Appreciate any comments good or bad regarding them.

Drive it till it drops.

Rust is a thing with them, also what engine? Certain models suffered from electrical gremlins too. Otherwise they weren't too bad for a softroader - the later version is not recommended though, hideous fuel economy for one and not really any good offroad.

Not certain, 2.5 petrol l think, thanks for the feedback, does the price sound right. I was thinking maybe 3800 but it might be a bit cheeky. He started at 5500. It is definitely a petrol and pre CVT.

2006 will either be manual or proper auto. not a jatronic cvt. (evil things)
also they come with (from memory) a 205/65 tyre.
changing it to 205/70 makes a huge difference in economy and the speedo will be close to accurate

Ahh yep, thats the better combo. The diesel was ok-ish if looked after (I say that as all diesels of this era and later suffer from computers). As gonetropo says, early Nissan cvt's are a bit of a lottery. Most just do it, some just explode and are a bit of a bad surprise.

Had a 2006 bought it new, 2.5L 5 speed manual never had an issue up to 100,000k,s sold it to a mate, never had an issue to 180,000k,s sold it on still going strong I believe. Always serviced on time etc.

Thanks all, done deal 4200. Fingers crossed it's not another cluster fcuk. At least this time it wasn't an impulse buy.
