1970 Datsun 240Z 2.4L Petrol · TAW 39H

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the test on 2 August 2025 at 46,348 miles. Five consecutive annual examinations from August 2021 through August 2025 resulted in passes with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent outcome demonstrates that the car met statutory requirements across multiple years without escalating mechanical issues. The stability of these results implies the previous keeper addressed minor wear items promptly to maintain road legality. Recorded mileage totals 46,348 miles against an age of approximately 56 years. This equates to an average annual distance of roughly 828 miles, indicating light usage relative to the vehicle's longevity. Mileage progression between July 2021 and August 2025 shows increments varying from 431 to 1,203 miles per year. While low mileage reduces engine and transmission wear, extended periods of inactivity often lead to fluid separation and rubber component hardening. Owners who store classic cars frequently face hidden degradation despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on areas prone to deterioration from standing. Check suspension bushes and shock absorber seals for cracks or oil leaks resulting from age rather than distance. Brake discs require scrutiny for deep pitting or excessive surface rust that short trips fail to remove. Examine the exhaust system for internal corrosion which commonly affects vehicles kept in garages for long durations. Fluid levels and conditions need verification to confirm the engine has not suffered from stagnation.
