2005 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · MW54 AAF

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a failure in the most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 128,943 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, the recent failure without recorded defects suggests a specific mechanical or emissions-related issue that prevented a pass. Historically, the maintenance trend appears unstable, as the car moved from a clean pass in 2022 to a failure in the latest inspection, despite a period of apparent reliability. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use sports car, averaging approximately 6,140 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between the December 2020 test at 117,519 miles and the June 2022 test at 127,225 miles, where the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in eighteen months. This low annual mileage over a 21-year lifespan often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, and potentially internal corrosion in brake lines, despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the cause of the 2025 failure, as the record provides no specific defects for that result. The focus should be on the exhaust system, sensor-related faults, and the state of the braking system. Given the age of the Nissan 350Z, particular attention is required regarding the structural integrity of the sills and rear subframes, where corrosion is common on this model regardless of mileage.
