Nissan X-Trail 2004: Oil consumption

The 2004 Nissan X-Trail we bought recently is using oil at the rate of one litre every 1500 km. Is that excessive?

It's borderline at the moment, so I wouldn't panic, but I would monitor it over the next 12 months or so, and use a good quality 10w-50 oil. X-Trails do have a reputation for using oil at high mileage, and it's usually wear in the rings and bores.
