No MOT data — worth knowing

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

The 1986 Nissan 720 Pick-Up is not included in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database, so no pass rates or defect statistics are available for this cohort—these older commercials were typically tested under the separate DVSA heavy-vehicle regime. This means you cannot rely on MOT data to assess the reliability of individual examples on the market. What matters instead is hands-on inspection: check for rust (especially in the chassis and bed), verify the service history, test the clutch and gearbox feel thoroughly, and have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with 1980s Japanese trucks. These vehicles were genuine workhorses built to last, but at 38+ years old, condition varies wildly—buy on the individual vehicle's state, not on any broader statistical safety net.

MOT statistics not available

We have 306 1986 Nissan 720 Pick Up 1800 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
