1973 Datsun 240Z 2.4L Petrol · TFB 3M

This 1973 Datsun 240Z has a remarkably clean MOT history. It has passed every single test since at least 2021 with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. The most recent test in July 2025 at 99,909 miles shows no issues whatsoever, which is an excellent sign for a vehicle of this age. The mechanical condition trend appears stable and well-maintained. With five consecutive clean passes, there is no evidence of worsening rust, suspension wear, or brake deterioration. This pattern strongly suggests the car has been carefully stored and regularly maintained rather than used as a daily driver or left to degrade. The mileage is very low for a 53-year-old car, averaging only about 1,885 miles per year. This is far below typical use and indicates the car has likely spent long periods in storage or been used only occasionally. While low mileage can preserve the engine and body, it also raises the risk of deteriorated seals, perished rubber components, and stale fluids from lack of regular use. The consistent passing of MOTs suggests these issues have been addressed, but a buyer should still be cautious about hidden age-related problems that do not show up on a static test.
