2009 Nissan GT-R 3.8L Petrol · VR02 GTR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 31 January 2026 at 45,561 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of minor mechanical advisories in previous years, suggesting that the owner has been proactive in addressing identified issues. The transition from the 2025 test, which flagged tyre wear and a non-excessive differential oil leak, to a clean 2026 certificate indicates that these specific maintenance items have been rectified. The recorded mileage of 45,561 over a 17-year lifespan averages approximately 2,680 miles per year. This extremely low annual usage is consistent across the documented history, with the 2022 test at 31,036 miles and the 2024 test at 40,840 miles showing steady, incremental progress. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to component degradation through inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and sealing components. The records show a recurring pattern of nearside front shock absorber oil misting in both 2022 and 2023. Although the 2026 test was clear, the history of misting and the 2025 advisory regarding a differential oil leak warrant a close check for fresh seepage or weeping around the dampers and the rear differential housing. The 2025 advisory regarding front tyre wear on the edges suggests potential alignment issues or uneven load distribution. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, the buyer should also inspect the condition of rubber seals, bushings, and hoses, as these components often perish from age rather than mileage. The history of minor exhaust leaks and lighting failures appears to be resolved, but a visual check of the exhaust manifold and flexi-pipes remains a prudent step.
