2006 Nissan 350Z 3.5L Petrol · JFZ 8645

The 2006 Nissan 350Z presents a stable and reassuring MOT record. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 67,626 miles passed with zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. A clean pass with no flagged items is a strong positive signal, particularly for a twenty-year-old sports car. The mileage pattern tells a story of extremely light use. Between the August 2017 tests and the October 2025 test, the car covered just 655 miles over more than eight years. That is barely 80 miles per year. Such prolonged inactivity carries its own risks. Seals dry out, brake discs surface-corrode, tyres age and perish, and fuel degrades. The gap between 2017 and 2025 is significant, and the car effectively sat unused for the vast majority of that period. Despite the clean MOT outcome, a prospective buyer must inspect components that deteriorate from age and standing rather than mileage. Check all four tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, even if tread depth appears adequate. Examine brake discs for lipping and calipers for seized slides, as binding is common after long storage. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for perishing or weeping. The underside warrants close attention for structural corrosion, particularly on subframes, sills, and jacking points, where moisture ingress during stationary periods accelerates decay. The MOT record confirms the car was roadworthy at its last test, but the data alone cannot verify the condition of age-sensitive components. A thorough in-person inspection, ideally on a ramp, is essential before purchase.
