1998 Nissan Skyline 2.5L Petrol · F8 OCD

The vehicle currently presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 26 May 2026 at 64,737 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and exceptionally clean, following a comprehensive restoration noted in May 2025. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been overhauled or meticulously maintained to an above-average standard. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's life. Between 2016 and 2017, the car covered only 9 miles in a year, suggesting it was not active use. However, since the 2017 test at 102,921 miles, the odometer has dropped significantly relative to the current reading, now averaging only about 2,300 miles per year. This low annual mileage for a 28-year-old vehicle reduces mechanical wear on components but introduces risks of age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals or fluid ingress from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from hidden corrosion if not properly protected during storage. The aftermarket instrument cluster requires a verification of the wiring loom and sensor functionality to ensure accurate reporting of vehicle health. Given the restoration history, a close look at the suspension bushes and brake caliper seals is also essential to confirm that the low usage has not led to seized components or accelerated cracking of rubber elements.
