Nissan D21 1 Ton Pick Up (1991)
1991 Nissan D21 1 Ton Pick Up
CarHunch is tracking 295 1991 Nissan D21 1 Ton Pick Up vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Nissan D21 is a serious reliability concern—a 0% first-time pass rate across 295 vehicles is catastrophically worse than the UK average of 80%, and this applies equally to both the 150 diesels and 145 petrol versions in the dataset. At 33 years old, these trucks have simply reached end-of-life status, with every single example failing its MOT on first attempt.
With no mileage data available and a median CarHunch score of just 50, these vehicles are fundamentally unsafe for road use and prohibitively expensive to repair to legal standard. Unless you're buying one as a static display piece or parts donor, avoid this model entirely—the cost of bringing any example into MOT compliance would far exceed its residual value.
We have 295 1991 Nissan D21 1 Ton Pick Up 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 1991 Nissan D21 1 Ton Pick Up
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.
