Common Nissan X-trail problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
CVT automatic whine / judder · €1,200–€3,000
Listen for whining as speed rises and any surge or judder pulling away.
Timing belt history · €350–€700
Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
Engines and how long they last
| Engine | Usually lasts | Motor tax / year | For sale |

"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
