2004 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · HG04 CZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in preventative care regarding consumable components. While it passed the most recent April 2026 test at 58,719 miles, the report identifies front enough pads as wearing thin. This follows a period of increasing issues in 2024, where the car failed due to multiple mechanical faults, suggesting that repairs are being carried out reactively rather than through a consistent maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,669 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the April 2023 test at 57,737 miles and the April 2024 test at 58,571 miles, where the car covered only 834 miles in a year. Furthermore, only 22 miles were recorded between the May 2024 failure and the April 2025 pass. Such low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which were flagged for dust cover failure in 2024. The recurring history of rear tyres being worn to the legal limit across 2024 and 2025 indicates potential alignment issues or negative camber wear that should be addressed. Additionally, the front tyres should be checked for sidewall damage and nails as noted in 2024, and the braking system should be measured to ensure the thin front pads do not require immediate replacement.
