NISSAN SKYLINE2016 · 2.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 193,185 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years, as the mechanical issues identified earlier have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of wear-related faults, the latest clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying advisories before they become failures. At 29 years old, the recorded mileage of 193,185 miles represents an average of approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a classic vehicle used regularly but sparingly. There is a gap in the records between October 2020 and February 2022, during which only 1,650 miles were covered. Since then, the vehicle has seen a significant increase in usage, covering over 21,000 miles in the last four years. This shift toward consistent mileage explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and steering joints observed in the more recent tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering assembly, as these areas show recurring issues. The 2023 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and uneven tyre wear, while the 2024 test identified play in anti-roll bar ball joints and worn upper suspension arm bushes. Although these were cleared in the 2025 test, the frequency of these faults suggests the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life. Checking for perished perished bushings and excessive movement in the ball joints is essential to ensure the recent repairs were not merely temporary.
