NISSAN SKYLINE1992 · 2.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on historical data, though a significant gap in testing exists. The most recent recorded test in February 2017 at 94,857 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were either addressed or deteriorated. However, because there is no MOT data for the past nine years, the current state of the vehicle is unverified and the trend from 2013 to 2017 shows a progression toward a cleaner record. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 34-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. There is a glaring discrepancy in the August 2012 entry which lists 785,533 miles; this is clearly a clerical error given the subsequent reading of 83,604 miles. Between late 2014 and early 2017, the car covered only 8,407 miles, suggesting it may have sat in storage for long periods. This lack of use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seized braking hardware despite the low mechanical wear. A physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and fluid systems. The 2013 test flagged corrosion across all four suspension mounting areas and sills, along with corroded fuel and brake pipes. While these were not considered excessive at the time, rust on older Japanese Nissans often accelerates when the vehicle remains stationary. The buyer should specifically check the brake calipers and discs for pitting, as the history consistently noted worn components between 2012 and 2013, and verify that CV joint gaiters have not perished further since the 2012 report.
