2010 NISSAN 370 Z3.7L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT pass in November 2022 showing signs of deferred consumable upkeep. While the car has passed its tests consistently, the transition from clean records between 2016 and 2020 to advisory notices in 2021 and 2022 suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent inspection at 49,387 miles flagged uneven tyre wear on the inner edges and early signs of corrosion on underside components, indicating that while the car remains roadworthy, it is beginning to show the typical degradation associated with its age. The mileage history confirms this is a low-usage vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the nearly three-year gap between the 2022 test and the current date of July 2026. This pattern of low annual mileage often implies light mechanical strain on the drivetrain but can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components, seized calipers, or fuel system stagnation. The jump from 39,425 miles in October 2021 to 49,387 miles in November 2022 represents the highest annual mileage recorded in the history, though it remains well below average for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and underside to monitor the corrosion mentioned in the November 2022 report. Recurring issues with tyres, dating back to 2013 and appearing again in 2022, suggest that the owner may neglect basic consumable maintenance. The uneven inner-edge tyre wear specifically points to potential suspension geometry issues, such as worn bushes or misaligned components, which require physical verification. The brake history also warrants attention. The October 2021 test identified pitted or scored front brake discs, which, combined with the low usage pattern, could indicate the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, allowing surface oxidation to affect the braking surfaces. An inspection of the exhaust system is also necessary, following the rusted rear exhaust noted in the August 2015 test, to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a point that threatens structural integrity.
