Nissan Bluebird Gsx I Auto (1989)
1989 Nissan Bluebird Gsx I Auto
CarHunch is tracking 826 1989 Nissan Bluebird Gsx I Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1989 Nissan Bluebird has a 0% first-time pass rate across 826 vehicles tested, which is catastrophically worse than the UK average of 80%—every single car in this cohort failed its MOT on first attempt. The petrol engines show the same dire picture with a 0% pass rate, and there are no recorded dangerous defects, failures, or advisories in the dataset, suggesting these vehicles are simply not passing any MOT test at all, likely because they are either off the road or the data is incomplete.
At 35 years old, any surviving example from 1989 would need serious mechanical recommissioning to be roadworthy, and this particular model shows zero viable candidates in the current MOT pool. If you're considering one, treat it as a full restoration project rather than a usable purchase—budget for complete mechanical overhaul before even attempting an MOT test.
We have 826 1989 Nissan Bluebird Gsx I 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 1989 Nissan Bluebird Gsx I 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.
