Nissan X-Trail (T30) 2001-2007 Review

This model has above average reports of reliability.

There were some problems with very early models catching fire due to a fuel leak, and some reports of engine failure caused by a screw in the intake system that could come loose and make its way into the engine, but cars with these issues are likely to have been long sorted out by now.

Some reports of excessive oil consumption so any vehicle exhibiting blue smoke should be avoided.

Some components like brakes and wheel bearings can wear quickly.

The engine uses a timing chain so no regular replacement is necessary.
