Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto (1986)
1986 Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto
CarHunch is tracking 124 1986 Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Nissan 300 ZX 2+2 Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80%—meaning every vehicle in this sample failed its MOT on first attempt. The zero dangerous defect rate is the only bright spot, suggesting these failures stem from wear and tear rather than safety-critical issues.
At 38 years old, these cars are primarily owned by enthusiasts rather than everyday drivers, which explains why mileage data isn't available and why the MOT results reflect the challenges of keeping a classic 1980s sports car roadworthy. If you're considering one, budget for pre-MOT repairs and factor in specialist servicing costs, as these vehicles will need substantial attention before passing their annual test.
We have 124 1986 Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto 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 1986 Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto
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.
