2007 Nissan 350 Z 3.5L Petrol · RE07 LCX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred repairs on non-critical components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 66,161 miles highlighted persistent issues with corroded catalytic converter heat shields and a worn nearside rear tyre alongside a pitted rear brake disc. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of these defects suggests the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT pass rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between May 2019 and February 2021, during which the car covered only 2,282 miles, indicating long periods of storage or very light seasonal use. This low-frequency usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake surfaces, which is evidenced by the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and surface corrosion noted in the tests from 2016 through 2019. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the offside anti-roll bar linkage and drop links were flagged for play between 2021 and 2024. The consistent history of inner-edge tyre wear dating back to 2016 suggests persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified. Furthermore, the exhaust system and the catalytic converter heat shields should be checked for structural integrity beyond surface rust, as these have been noted as deteriorated for over five years. The pitted rear brake disc mentioned in the latest test indicates that while functional, the braking components are suffering from oxidation due to age and lack of use.
