Nissan 100 Nx (1993)
1993 Nissan 100 Nx
CarHunch analysed 902 real MOT records for the 1993 Nissan 100 Nx. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 1993 Nissan 100 NX has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 23.1%, barely a quarter of the UK average of 80%, which is a significant red flag for reliability. With only 5.5% of vehicles flagged for dangerous defects, that's not the primary concern—instead, the low pass rate reflects the cumulative wear you'd expect from a car now over 30 years old.
At a median mileage of 105,000 miles, these examples are reasonably well-used but not exceptional for their age, and the average 0.74 failures and 1.8 advisories per MOT suggest fairly predictable ageing rather than catastrophic issues. If you're seriously considering one, budget for immediate repairs before buying and expect ongoing maintenance costs; this is a classic car buyer's game, not a practical daily driver.
What to check before buying a 1993 Nissan 100 Nx
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.
