1996 Nissan 300 ZX 3.0L Petrol · N994 GWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on a clean pass on 4 March 2025 at 152,606 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no defects were recorded during the most recent test or the preceding three years of inspections. While the car failed its tests on 6 February 2025 and 15 January 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage is low for a thirty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,087 miles per year. The record shows very little usage in recent years, with only 207 miles added between the January 2024 and February 2024 tests, and a mere 260 miles between February and March 2025. This pattern indicates the car has spent significant periods standing, which often leads to different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade during inactivity. Check for perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat spots on the tyres. Given the age of this Nissan 300ZX, a thorough inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion is essential, as the MOT history is unusually clean and does not explicitly mention structural integrity or rust. Verify the condition of the fluids and belts, as low annual mileage can lead to moisture buildup in the oil and brittle rubber components. Ensure the braking system is fully operational and not binding due to long periods of dormancy. The absence of recorded advisories is positive, but it places the burden of verification on a physical inspection of the underside and engine bay.
