Issues with CVT automatics?

I have just purchased a 2012 Nissan X Trail with CVT transmission. It has done 57,000 km, and is in immaculate condition, but I have read about concerns with the CVT. Could you fill me in about the problem?

The main concern with the CVT transmission is shuddering, particularly on takeoff from a standstill. It's easily recognised if your car has it. If it isn't showing any signs of the problem I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
