Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto (1987)
1987 Nissan 300 Zx 2+2 Auto
CarHunch is tracking 111 1987 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 1987 Nissan 300 ZX has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 111 vehicles tested failed its MOT on first attempt. The absence of dangerous defects (0%) and the zero average failures per vehicle suggest these aren't safety-critical issues, but rather systematic problems that recur across the model.
The lack of mileage data and the flat failure/advisory counts indicate most of these cars are either barely roadworthy or rarely driven, which makes sense for a 37-year-old specialist sports car. If you're considering one, expect significant remedial work before it'll pass test, and budget for specialist knowledge—these aren't cars you can throw parts at blindly.
We have 111 1987 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 1987 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.
