1995 Nissan Skyline 2.6L Petrol · M632 NTT

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but exhibits a long-term and worsening trend of structural degradation. While it passed its most recent test in September 2023 at 140,308 miles, the history reveals persistent advisories regarding corrosion that have not been rectified. The transition from a structural failure in May 2020 involving reduced rigidity in the nearside rear integral body structure to a pass in 2023 suggests repairs have been made, yet the underlying issue of widespread chassis oxidation remains a primary concern. At 31 years old, the recorded mileage of 140,308 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. However, the data shows significant gaps in usage between July 2018 and May 2020, where the car covered only 1,413 miles in nearly two years. This pattern of intermittent use often correlates with the mechanical issues noted, such as deteriorated brake hoses, damp steering gaiters, and oil leaks, as stationary components are more prone to seal and seal failure than those under regular use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills, sub-frames, and integral body points. The record repeatedly flags heavy corrosion in the inner sills and sub-frames, which requires close scrutiny to ensure the rust is not merely surface level. The recurring mention of inner-edge tyre wear in both 2020 and 2023 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushings that has not been addressed. Furthermore, specific attention should be paid to the offside rear shock absorbers, which have shown oil misting since at least 2018, suggesting they are nearing the end of their functional life.
