1996 Nissan Skyline 2.5L Petrol · P693 CCT

The most recent MOT test on 19 June 2026 shows the vehicle passed, but the record indicates a specific area of wear regarding the suspension system. The tester flagged minor advisories for both the offside front and nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, noting they were severely deteriorated. This suggests a trend of rubber component degradation, which is common in vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage of 102,883 miles represents a low average of approximately 3,429 miles per year for a 30-year-old vehicle. While the single MOT entry provided is very recent, the data is sparse, offering limited insight into the long-term maintenance patterns or historical failures. The low mileage suggests infrequent use, which can often lead to the drying and cracking of rubber seals and dust covers, as seen in the current advisory. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire front suspension assembly. Beyond the deteriorated ball joint dust covers, it is necessary to check for play in the ball joints themselves and the condition of other rubber components like bushings and CV boots. Given the age of the vehicle and the low annual mileage, inspecting for signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points is also essential.
