Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a sports
When viewing this 3.7L petrol model, your primary focus should be verifying that the exhaust leak noted in the 2022 MOT has been professionally repaired. Given the high-performance nature of the 370Z, ask for evidence of regular oil changes and cooling system checks to ensure the large engine has been maintained.
Negotiate based on the time elapsed since the last recorded MOT. As the last test was in mid-2022, you should insist on a fresh MOT before purchase. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pipes, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
Expect running costs to be higher than average due to the large 3697cc engine displacement. Fuel economy will be a significant factor, particularly in stop-start traffic, and insurance groups for this model tend to be higher due to its performance profile.
Maintenance costs for a Nissan sports car can be specialised. While parts are generally available, the larger engine and performance components mean that routine servicing and tyre replacements will likely be more expensive than a standard hatchback.
Specifically inspect the exhaust system from the manifold to the rear silencer. The 2022 MOT record highlighted a minor leak of exhaust gases, so listen for any unusual drumming or hissing sounds during a cold start.
Given the model's aggregate failure trends, perform a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as well as the condition of the brake pipes for any signs of corrosion or fluid weeping. Ensure the white paintwork is free of significant stone chips, which are common on low-slung performance vehicles.
This 2009 Nissan 370Z, finished in white, presents with 59,504 miles recorded at its last MOT in June 2022. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 3,933, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example of its age. The MOT history shows a single recorded minor exhaust leak, which is a common issue for this model type.
The 370Z shows an 89.0% average MOT pass rate across 1,978 analysed vehicles, with exhaust, tyres, and brake pipes being the most common failure points.
