2004 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · N17 KAL

The 2025‑11‑18 MOT at 67,884 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition with no worsening trend. With a recorded mileage of 67,884 at an age of 22 years, the vehicle averages just over 3,000 miles per year, a figure that suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the 2022‑11‑16 failure at 61,396 miles and the subsequent 2022‑11‑18 pass at 61,407 miles was only eleven miles, and the annual increments from 2023 to 2025 hover between 1,900 and 2,500 miles, reinforcing the impression of a lightly driven car with no abrupt mileage surges. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension arms and anti‑roll bar linkages for excessive wear or play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and examine the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes. Particular attention to the brake discs, pads and caliper operation is advisable, as the earlier failure highlighted suspension component fatigue that can affect braking performance. Visual checks for structural rust on the chassis rails and exhaust system, together with a thorough assessment of tyre tread and condition, will complete the due‑diligence inspection.
