1996 Nissan Skyline 2.5L Petrol · N664 LAG

The vehicle demonstrates an exceptional maintenance trend, achieving five consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory since November 2021. The most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 confirms the car is currently in a stable and roadworthy condition at 79,595 miles. This clean record suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing mechanical requirements proactively rather than allowing issues to accumulate. A total of 79,595 miles over sixteen years equates to an average of approximately 4,975 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this classification. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with the car covering roughly 3,000 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history, and the steady, moderate usage pattern indicates the vehicle has likely been kept in regular operation rather than suffering from the long-term storage issues often associated with low-mileage performance cars. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains necessary to verify the condition of components not fully assessed during a standard test. You should prioritize checking the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for signs of corrosion, as these areas can deteriorate on older imports regardless of MOT status. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these rubber and metal components will be reaching their natural service life. Check the brake discs and pads for surface oxidation or uneven wear patterns that might not trigger a failure but could indicate long periods of inactivity. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of hoses and belts is essential to ensure the mechanical longevity of the engine and drivetrain.
