The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1987 Nissan New Cabstar C Cab doesn't appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database — this is a commercial truck, and heavy commercials like it are tested under the separate DVSA regime, so traditional MOT pass-rate data simply isn't available here. What we do know is that 180 examples of this model have been recorded, almost all petrol-powered, reflecting its era as a straightforward utility workhorse designed for trades and small businesses.
If you're considering one today, treat it as a classic or hobby vehicle rather than relying on MOT statistics for confidence. The median CarHunch score of 50 suggests middling overall condition across the surviving fleet, so a thorough pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with 1980s Japanese commercial engineering is essential — these trucks were built tough but are now nearly 40 years old, and any remaining examples will need careful mechanical evaluation.
We have 180 1987 Nissan New Cabstar C Cab 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
