2009 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · LW07 DAZ

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record, with every test from July 2021 through November 2024 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. The most recent test, on 28 November 2024 at 39,102 miles, confirms the car remains roadworthy today. No advisories have ever been issued across any of the four tests, which indicates a stable and consistently maintained mechanical condition rather than a worsening or improving trend over the recorded period. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2009 vehicle. At 39,102 recorded miles, the car has averaged roughly 2,300 miles per year over its life. The odometer readings progress steadily: 34,252 miles in July 2021, 36,173 in August 2022, 38,136 in December 2023, and 39,102 in November 2024. The intervals between tests are broadly annual, apart from a 16-month gap between August 2022 and December 2023. This pattern reflects light, sporadic use rather than heavy daily commuting. Low mileage of this kind can indicate lots of short journeys or long periods of standing, both of which bring their own wear patterns, but the consistent readings show no evidence of clocking or unusual mileage spikes. Because the MOT history records no failures or advisories, there are no specific recurring faults to investigate. That said, a 17-year-old sports car with this level of use warrants a close physical inspection before purchase. The testers have not flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components, but age-related deterioration can still lurk beneath a clean pass. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding, uneven pad wear, or judder, and examine the rear suspension arms and subframe for surface corrosion. Tyre age matters more than tread depth on a car with such low annual mileage, so look for cracking in the sidewalls. Likewise, inspect the sills, floor pans, and chassis rails for any structural rust, since corrosion can progress quietly between tests. The paperwork is sound, but the absence of documented faults means the physical condition of consumables and structural steel is the real deciding factor.
