2005 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · FP55 AAZ

The maintenance trend for this 2005 Nissan 350Z appears stable, culminating in a clean pass on 3 March 2023 at 112,818 miles. The most recent MOT recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. The record shows a failed test on 21 February 2023 at 112,816 miles, an anomaly given the absence of recorded defects. This suggests a procedural failure or an issue identified during the test that was rectified before the retest two weeks later. The lack of recurring mechanical faults across the documented history implies consistent baseline upkeep. At roughly 21 years old with 112,818 miles on the clock, this grand tourer has covered an average of approximately 5,372 miles annually, which is notably low. The mileage progression reveals minimal use over recent years; the odometer advanced only five miles between the February 2022 and February 2023 tests, sitting at 106,973 and 106,978 miles respectively. From February 2023 to March 2023, the mileage increased by just two miles. Such low accumulation often points to extended periods of standing, which carries its own mechanical risks despite the reduced wear on consumables. Given the low annual mileage and the likelihood of prolonged stationary periods, a prospective buyer must inspect for the specific ailments caused by underuse. Tyres will likely exhibit flat-spotting or perishing of the sidewall rubber rather than tread wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated from lack of movement, while brake discs could suffer from surface corrosion leading to binding calipers. The structural integrity of the underbody requires close scrutiny; standing vehicles often accumulate moisture, accelerating corrosion on suspension mounting points and the exhaust system. Verifying the condition of the rubber hoses and seals is equally critical, as these components degrade with age and lack of fluid circulation.
