2017 Nissan Skyline 2.5L Petrol · M723 AGL

The 2017 Nissan Skyline shows a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT on 30 August 2025 at 127,970 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clears since the 25 May 2021 test at 124,592 miles. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the sequence, indicating consistent compliance with statutory standards. Registered in 2017, the car has covered 127,970 miles, an overall average of roughly 14,200 miles per year. The MOT data reveals a pronounced shift in usage. Between 25 May 2021, 124,592 miles, and 23 July 2022, 126,120 miles, it added 1,528 miles. From July 2022 to 19 August 2023, 126,392 miles, the odometer advanced only 272 miles. The August 2024 test at 127,650 miles shows 1,258 miles gained, then just 320 miles to the August 2025 test. Early life clearly involved high daily use; recent years reflect sporadic, low-mileage running. The sparse five-entry record contains no gaps longer than fourteen months, so the test cadence remains lawful. Despite the clean sheet, the mileage profile demands specific in-person checks. The early high accumulation suggests suspension bushes, coil springs and drivetrain components endured substantial load, though testers flagged nothing. The subsequent long idle periods raise risk of corrosion on brake discs, binding calipers and perished rubber from standing. A buyer should scrutinise structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes for rust, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not aged-cracked despite low wear. The absence of advisories means the DVSA examiner saw no immediate concern, but low-use vehicles can hide seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres. Previous owners maintained statutory testing punctually and avoided failures, implying basic mechanical care was not skipped. The dramatic drop in annual mileage after 2021 may indicate a garage-kept secondary car. Prospective purchasers should commission a pre-purchase inspection focusing on fluid degradation, brake binding after prolonged storage, and exhaust emissions under load. The record supports a sound baseline, yet physical verification of consumables remains prudent given the contradictory usage pattern.
