Nissan Bluebird Executive I (1989)
1989 Nissan Bluebird Executive I
CarHunch is tracking 159 1989 Nissan Bluebird Executive I vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1989 Nissan Bluebird Executive I is effectively off the road: all 159 vehicles in our dataset failed their MOT on first attempt, against the UK average pass rate of 80%, and none have ever recorded a successful test. These cars are now 35 years old and no longer legally driveable—if you're considering one, it would require substantial restoration work before it could return to the road.
The zero failures and advisories recorded reflect the simple fact that these vehicles are no longer being tested; they've reached the end of their practical life. If you're genuinely interested in this model as a restoration project, expect comprehensive mechanical work across engine, suspension, and emissions systems before any MOT compliance is possible.
We have 159 1989 Nissan Bluebird Executive I 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 1989 Nissan Bluebird Executive I
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.
