Datsun Sunny F/back (1982)
1982 Datsun Sunny F/back
CarHunch is tracking 1,605 1982 Datsun Sunny F/back vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This data is essentially empty — all 1,605 vehicles in the cohort failed their MOT on first attempt, a complete collapse compared to the UK's 80% pass rate. With zero failures recorded, zero advisories logged, and zero dangerous defects flagged, the dataset contains no meaningful information about what's actually breaking on these cars, making it impossible to assess their real condition.
The 1982 Datsun Sunny F/Back is now 42 years old, and the absence of mileage data combined with a 0% pass rate suggests these vehicles may no longer be actively tested or are so rare in the MOT system that the statistics are unreliable. If you're considering one of these classics, don't rely on this MOT cohort — instead, get a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist in classic Japanese cars and focus on rust, fuel system integrity, and brake condition, as these are the typical failure points for cars of this age.
We have 1,605 1982 Datsun Sunny F/back vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1982 Datsun Sunny F/back
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
