NISSAN 300 ZX1992 · 3.0L PETROL

The 1992 Nissan 300 ZX has a limited MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2006-06-06, when it had 108,086 miles. This suggests the vehicle has not been subject to regular MOT testing in the 17 years since, raising concerns about its current condition. The last recorded failure occurred just 10 days earlier, on 2006-05-17, at 108,081 miles, indicating significant mechanical issues at that time. The failed 2006 MOT revealed critical safety risks: excessive play in both rear wheel steering ball joints, a parking brake lever lacking reserve travel, and severe fluid leaks from both rear shock absorbers. These issues point to potential instability in steering, braking inefficiency, and compromised suspension, all of which pose serious safety hazards. A subsequent pass just five days later noted minor suspension arm play, suggesting repairs may have addressed the most urgent faults but left some underlying wear unresolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 108,086 miles at age 34 (as of 2026) equates to roughly 3,179 miles per year, far below average for its age. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to fluid leaks, corrosion, and component degradation. However, without recent MOT data, it is impossible to confirm whether these issues have worsened, remained stable, or been properly resolved. The lack of MOT records post-2006 means there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance or emerging faults.
