2005 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · OU55 AFO

The vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally clean MOT record, with the most recent pass on 16 December 2025 at 79,167 miles confirming a stable and high standard of roadworthiness. The lack of any recorded defects or advisories over the past four consecutive tests indicates a proactive approach to maintenance, suggesting that the owner has addressed mechanical needs before they reached the point of failure. This consistent performance points to a well-preserved example that has avoided the common cycle of recurring component neglect often seen in performance-oriented vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage of 79,167 miles over a 21-year period averages approximately 3,770 miles per annum, which is notably low for a Nissan 350Z. The data shows a steady, incremental usage pattern, with roughly 2,000 to 2,500 miles added annually since 2022. The single failure recorded on 3 November 2022 at 72,693 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor issue rectified within days, as the vehicle passed a full inspection just six days later. This history suggests the car has been used as a secondary vehicle rather than a daily driver, avoiding the heavy wear often associated with high-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation that testing stations may not flag. You should prioritise a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, as these are known weak spots for this model. Inspect the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and ball joints, as these components perish over time regardless of low mileage. Verify the health of the braking system, specifically checking for seized calipers or corroded brake lines that may have sat idle during long periods of storage. Confirm that the engine bay shows no signs of oil leaks from the valve covers, which can often go unnoticed during routine annual inspections.
