So I bought our 2006 X-Trail in November 2014 and it had 286K on it. I was a bit concerned that it was too high in mileage but the owners had lots of maintenance records so I went ahead. Recently, after complaining about some other thing that was bugging me, my hubby informed me he had concerns at the time of purchase also but chose not to say anything as he thought it was my decision! I told him next time please speak up as it was his money, too! We have had various issues so far, most of which I have posted about on here...It is soon due for its 6000 km. oil change and will be at 326K then.
So, who else has a very high mileage X-Trail? What have you had to do as far as repairs? Do you still get good gas mileage? (I do, thank god...) Are you wishing you could rid of it and buy something else? Who would buy something like this anyway unless it had a really low price tag? We paid $4500. for this and have put in a fair bit of dough for everything from winter tires, new glass, rear sway bar bushings, replaced fog lamps, brake switch assembly, serpentine belt, O2 sensor, replace rear strut, and a new muffler.
I imagine it will be best to keep this until I can afford something with less miles, although I live in fear of what will go next. New rotors are on the horizon as it shakes when I brake but was advised to wait until I need to do the brakes, as it will be cheaper for me.
