My wife has an 04 2.2dci, generally we are extremely happy with it. it does about 38mpg (Has a good 6 speed gearbox), it is also surprisingly fast for a 4x4. The only downside is that it has had a new turbo and intercooler. Both of these were done under warranty luckily!!

They also have the best cup holders I have ever seen on any car!!!

Blown turbo is a very common problem on the 2.2dci X-Trail so be careful as it happend to two people with them I know at work.

No real way to see without driving it. It's easier to spot of the intercooler is going - if there is oil around the seal underneath then its started to leak, and will only get worse.

My review/opinion here

I would buy from a Nissan dealer and get a 12 month warranty if I were you.

My OH loves her '04 2.2dci and does serious mileage in it. The turbo and intercooler problems are known, but on a '06 they'd probably have happened at this stage.

Is it a 2x4 or 4x4?
