NISSAN SKYLINE1999 · 2.6L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in August 2022 at 102,985 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. While a minor failure occurred in 2018 for a non-functional offside front headlamp, the issue was rectified immediately as the vehicle passed the subsequent retest. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-seven year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2017 and October 2018, where the car covered only 795 miles in twenty months. Between October 2018 and August 2022, the vehicle travelled 16,107 miles. This low-frequency usage suggests the car may have been stored or used sparingly, which often increases the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and aged fluid degradation despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches, as Skyline models from this era are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest until it is advanced. Given the long periods of inactivity, check the condition of the suspension bushes, hoses, and tyres for cracking or dry rot. Since the last MOT was nearly four years ago, a thorough check of the brake system and fluid leaks is essential to ensure no safety-critical issues have developed since the 2022 test.
