Nissan GT R (2019)
2019 Nissan GT R
CarHunch analysed 114 real MOT records for the 2019 Nissan GT R. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Nissan GT-R is exceptionally reliable, with a 97.7% first-time pass rate that towers above the UK average of 80%—this is a genuinely impressive result that reflects either careful ownership or built-in durability, or both. Dangerous defects are rare at just 4.4%, so safety concerns are minimal for buyers considering this cohort.
These GT-Rs are running low mileage for their age (median 14,787 miles), which explains the stellar pass rate and means you're likely looking at careful, cherished ownership. The average vehicle has logged just 0.11 failures and 1.0 advisory per test, suggesting routine wear items are the only real concern—when you test-drive one, focus your inspection on the suspension and brakes, as these will be your most likely future costs.
What to check before buying a 2019 Nissan GT R
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.
