2016 Nissan 370 Z 3.7L Petrol · AX16 SXT

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-17 showed a failure for the rear exhaust system being insecure (6.1.2 (a)), despite passing the same test just hours earlier. This inconsistency suggests a potential oversight or temporary fix. Earlier MOTs reveal recurring issues: rear tyres were worn close to legal limits in 2025 and 2024, and in 2024, the rear windscreen wiper failed to clear effectively, along with a non-functional front windscreen washer. These patterns indicate a trend of minor but recurring mechanical and safety concerns, particularly with tyre wear and wiper systems. The trend does not clearly worsen or improve—some issues resurface, while others are addressed temporarily. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,651 miles over 10 years (2,565 miles per year) is unusually low. This could reflect light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Low mileage may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but increases the risk of corrosion, seized parts, or degraded fluids from lack of use. The MOT history shows no major structural or engine faults, but the recurring tyre wear suggests regular driving patterns that stress rear tyres, possibly due to load distribution or driving style. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear exhaust system’s mounting points for looseness or damage, as this failed the latest MOT.
