2011 Nissan 370 Z 3.7L Petrol · LS11 NZD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest test conducted in November 2024 at 17,939 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. This follows a consistent pattern of passes over the last several years, suggesting the vehicle has remained in operational condition. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Data shows a significant drop in usage between November 2019 and August 2021, where the car covered only 919 miles over nearly two years. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. Such periods of stationary use can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system in light of the August 2021 failure at 13,681 miles, where the tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs. Although the vehicle passed in subsequent tests, low-mileage cars often suffer from surface corrosion on rotors and seized calipers if not used frequently. The buyer should also examine the condition of suspension bushes and tyre cracks, as these materials age and perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Checking the age of the tyres is vital, as deep tread depth often masks hardened rubber that has lost its grip.
