I have been offered at reasonable price a 2003/53 Nissan X-Trail, 31k miles, 2.5 litre petrol, automatic. What are the pros and cons of this model?

Roomy and decent to drive. What to watch out for here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/nissan/x-trail-2001/...d One specific problem with the 2.5 petrol model is that the exhaust manifold is prone to corroding around the lambda sensors and starts to leak. As the manifold includes a catalytic converter, the cost of replacement is around £1,500. Expect no more than 25mpg. What's he asking? About £3,000?

Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
