2016 NISSAN GT-R3.8L PETROL

The Nissan GT-R presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 March 2026 at 53,125 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This is not an isolated result. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong, with five consecutive passes on or around March of each year from 2022 to 2026, all returning clean bills of health. For a performance vehicle of this calibre, that level of defect-free history is uncommon and suggests attentive ownership and proactive servicing. The mileage pattern tells a clear story. Over the five-year recorded window, the car has covered just 7,364 miles, averaging 1,473 miles per year. The increments between tests are remarkably steady: 1,303 miles between March 2022 and March 2023, 1,820 miles between 2023 and 2024, 1,303 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 2,503 miles between 2025 and 2026. That slight uptick in the most recent year still keeps annual use well below typical figures. At roughly 5,312 miles per year across its full ten-year life, this is genuinely low mileage. The record shows no suspicious gaps or sudden accumulations, indicating the car has been used sparingly but regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect key mechanical and structural components in person. Low-mileage performance cars can suffer from deterioration caused by infrequent use rather than wear. Check the condition of all tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, even if tread depth remains adequate, as original or early replacement rubber may now be past its safe service life. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers are not binding, a common issue on vehicles that see short trips. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for perishing or corrosion, and assess the underside for any signs of structural rust, particularly around subframes, jacking points, and suspension mounting points. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a hands-on inspection remains essential.
