1998 Nissan D21 2.5L Diesel · R752 EGC

The vehicle is currently without a valid MOT certificate as of 28 July 2026, with the last recorded test on 29 October 2024 at 112,856 miles passing with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, moving from a single refusal in August 2022 to three consecutive passes. The record is notably clean across all four tests, though the August 2022 failure at 111,697 miles carries no recorded defects, which is atypical and merits clarification on the original refusal reason. The mileage progression reveals very light use for a 28-year-old vehicle. Between August 2022 and October 2024, the odometer advanced only 159 miles, indicating the D21 has spent extended periods stationary rather than accumulating working miles. The annual rate of roughly 4,000 miles is low for a pickup of this age, suggesting the vehicle has been a garage-kept or intermittently used machine rather than a regular daily driver. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for age-related deterioration, as low-mileage vehicles of this vintage often suffer from rubber component perishing despite minimal use. Brake discs and drums should be measured for thickness and corrosion, and the exhaust system checked for structural integrity and emissions compliance, as these are common failure points on Nissan D21s that may not appear in a clean MOT history until they become critical. The chassis and body panels warrant close scrutiny for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of long-term storage.
