2008 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · Y17 RDD

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 88,025 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows several years of clean results dating back to 2022, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting the minimum safety standards without the immediate need for major repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 55,917 miles and the 2024 test at 75,813 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles over three years, showing a consistent usage pattern before the recent 12,212 miles recorded in the final year. This low annual mileage suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes ( to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the recent history is clean, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Given the age and low mileage, corrosion is a primary concern, particularly on the subframe and mounting points which are common areas for structural thinning on this model. The 2021 failure for thin front brake pads indicates that consumable maintenance was addressed previously, but the buyer should verify the current thickness of the discs and pads and ensure the calipers have not seized due to low use. Inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking is essential, as these parts age with time irrespective of the miles driven.
