2016 NISSAN SILVIA2.0L Petrol

The maintenance trend for this 2016 Nissan Silvia appears stable, culminating in a clean pass on 24 September 2024 at 118,858 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests over the last three years without any advisories or failures, indicating sound mechanical upkeep. However, a notable anomaly exists in the record from 30 August 2022, where the car failed at 115,129 miles despite the record listing no defects. This discrepancy indicates a failure reason not specified in the standard defect categories provided. A buyer should request the full test sheet for that specific date to clarify the exact cause of the failure. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 11,886 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 112,993 miles and the October 2022 test at 115,217 miles, the car covered approximately 2,224 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent year saw slightly higher usage, with 2,236 miles added between October 2022 and October 2023. Most recently, the vehicle has seen minimal accumulation, covering just 1,405 miles between October 2023 and the September 2024 test. This tapering mileage suggests a shift toward lighter, more occasional use, which can sometimes lead to issues like brake disc corrosion or perished rubber components from prolonged standing. Given the absence of recurring mechanical or structural advisories in the MOT record, the primary focus for a physical inspection should fall on the general condition of a decade-old sports coupe. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these components age regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Check the tyre sidewall condition and tread depth, as older performance tyres can perish internally. Underneath, assess the structural integrity of the sills, subframes, and exhaust system for corrosion. The 2022 failure without recorded defects remains an unexplained outlier; verifying the vehicle's service history and inspecting for any non-standard modifications will provide further clarity on its past care.
