NISSAN GT-R2017 · 3.8L PETROL

The 2017 Nissan GT-R presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 18 May 2026 at 12,718 miles passing with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, spanning from January 2023 through May 2026, has passed with no advisories or failures. This is an unusually spotless record for a high-performance vehicle of this age, indicating either meticulous upkeep or extremely light use that has kept wear items and structural components well within tolerance. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very low annual usage. The car covered just 753 miles between the January 2023 test at 6,585 miles and the December 2023 test at 7,045 miles, then added 2,077 miles by January 2025 at 9,122 miles, and a further 3,593 miles by the May 2026 test at 12,718 miles. The annualised rate sits at roughly 1,413 miles per year over nine years, well below the UK average. The slight acceleration in mileage accumulation from late 2023 onward suggests the car may have been sitting for extended periods earlier in its life before being used more regularly. No gaps or anomalies appear in the test record that would raise concern about odometer tampering. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that low-mileage, long-term storage can quietly degrade. Tyre age and sidewall condition deserve close attention, as the original rubber may be approaching or past its recommended six-to-ten-year service life regardless of remaining tread depth. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface corrosion and uneven wear, since infrequent use can lead to pad glazing and disc pitting that a single annual test may not catch between long idle stretches. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers should be checked for perishing or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods on a driveway or in a garage without regular movement. The exhaust system, including catalytic components, warrants inspection for internal deterioration that could affect emissions performance between test dates. A clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment of a car that has spent much of its life standing still.
