2014 NISSAN GT-R3.8L PETROL

The 2014 Nissan GT-R presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 10 April 2025 at 55,710 miles recording zero defects. That clean pass, just over twelve months ago, follows a pattern of consistently clean annual tests stretching back to 2022, suggesting the current custodian has kept the car in strong mechanical order. The only blemish in the entire history was a December 2020 failure at 48,439 miles for an incorrect front registration plate and a noisy exhaust, both rectified before the same-day retest passed. No recurring faults have surfaced since, indicating any historical issues were promptly addressed rather than left to deteriorate. The mileage profile tells a clear story of light use. Across twelve years, the odometer has climbed just 55,710 miles, averaging roughly 4,642 miles annually. The progression between tests is steady and modest: 53,750 miles in August 2022, 54,498 miles in August 2023, and 55,710 miles in April 2025, representing only 1,212 miles over approximately nineteen months. This is unusually low annual accumulation for a performance car of this type and suggests either careful, infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. No sudden mileage spikes or suspicious gaps appear in the record, though the sparse test frequency before 2020, with the next recorded test sitting at 48,439 miles in December 2020, leaves a gap where service history would be worth verifying independently. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should carry out a thorough physical inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. The GT-R's complex ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, dual-clutch gearbox, and adaptive suspension deserve particular scrutiny for fluid condition, error codes, and any signs of neglected servicing during periods of low use. Extended standing can cause flat-spotting on tyres, sticking brake calipers, and moisture ingress in the exhaust system, so check tyre date codes, brake disc surface condition, and exhaust internals for corrosion. Underbody inspection is essential around the subframe and suspension mounting points for any early corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored on damp ground. A pre-purchase inspection by a Nissan specialist, including a full diagnostic scan of the ECU and transmission control unit, is strongly recommended before committing to this vehicle.
