1972 Datsun 240Z 2.9L Petrol · NTC 795K

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with no defects recorded, which indicates it is currently in a roadworthy condition. However, the historical data reveals a pattern of severe structural corrosion. In 2013, the car failed on multiple critical safety points, including excessively corroded suspension spring mountings, suspension component mountings, and seat belt anchorages. There were also reports of corrosion on the rear floors and inner wheel arches. The overall trend appears to be improving, as the vehicle has moved from significant structural failure to a clean pass. It is noted that the underbody was heavily undersealed in 2013, which was likely part of the effort to address the rust issues. The mileage is highly ambiguous and should be treated with caution. The records show the vehicle had 78,786 miles in 2013, but the 2026 entry shows only 7,098 miles. This discrepancy suggests a replacement odometer, a chassis swap, or a reset, meaning the current low mileage figure does not accurately reflect the total wear on the engine, drivetrain, or consumables. The primary risk is the quality and longevity of the structural repairs carried out to fix the previous corrosion.
