1992 Nissan 200 SX 1.8L Petrol · J402 MLX

The Nissan 200 SX presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 26 April 2023 at 173,338 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening signals across the available history. A prior failure on 13 April 2023 at the same mileage carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared the retest thirteen days later. The odometer stood at 168,352 miles for the 11 January 2022 pass and rose only 4,986 miles to 173,338 by April 2023, equating to roughly 5,000 miles per year across its 34-year life. This is low for a 1992 sports coupé and suggests extended periods of storage or light use. The record shows a sparse but clean span between 2022 and 2023 with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at either pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and hidden rust, as the MOT entries flag no advisories yet omit detail on chassis and sills typical for a 34-year-old Japanese coupé. The binding calipers, coil springs, and tyre condition are untested by the record beyond the pass result, so confirm brake balance and suspension wear in person. Given the low annual mileage and two clean passes, previous keepers appear to have stored the car rather than driven it hard, but standing time risks perished seals and flat-spotted tyres. Verify the April 2023 failure cause with the test station, as DVSA data shows no defect logged despite the rejected status.
