MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and braking system. The MOT history explicitly mentions corroded brake pipes in 2023, 2024, and 2026, as well as a corroded rear sub-frame in 2024. You should verify if these components have been replaced or merely treated, as 'covered in grease' is a noted observation in the records.
Negotiate based on the immediate need for maintenance; the April 2026 test highlighted a tyre worn close to the legal limit and a damaged windscreen. Ensure there is a documented service history to complement the MOT data, as the records only confirm the vehicle met minimum legal standards at the time of testing.
The 3498cc petrol engine will result in high fuel consumption and significant annual road tax due to its age and emissions bracket. Insurance costs for the 350Z are typically elevated due to its performance classification.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are likely to be higher than average, particularly concerning the braking system and suspension. Expect an annual spend that reflects the upkeep of a 20-year-old sports car.
Focus heavily on the underbody. Specifically, inspect the brake pipes and the rear sub-frame, as these have been flagged multiple times in the MOT history (2023, 2024, and 2026). Look for signs of structural rust beyond the noted advisories.
Check the offside rear tyre and the windscreen, both of which were flagged in the most recent 2026 test. Additionally, examine the front brake discs and pads, which caused a failure in 2023 and remained as advisories in 2024.
This silver 2003 Nissan 350Z has recorded 113,597 miles. The MOT history reveals persistent issues with brake pipe corrosion and a recorded advisory for a corroded rear sub-frame. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, several advisories regarding tyres and brake pipes remain.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle shows a susceptibility to corrosion on the sub-frame and brake lines.
