Nissan New Cabstar Pick Up (1991)
1991 Nissan New Cabstar Pick Up
CarHunch is tracking 267 1991 Nissan New Cabstar 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 New Cabstar is in serious trouble: just 20% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and these vehicles have racked up over 100,000 miles on average. None of the 267 vehicles tested show dangerous defects, but the median CarHunch reliability score of 50 out of 100 reflects a model that's struggling to meet basic roadworthiness standards at this age.
At 30+ years old with typical mileage of around 101,777 miles, these pickups are approaching the end of their practical life; the near-zero average failures and advisories suggest that when they do fail their MOT, the issues tend to be systemic rather than isolated niggles. If you're considering one, budget for immediate remedial work before even attempting the test, and factor in that finding a parts supply and qualified mechanics for a vehicle this old will be challenging and expensive.
We have 267 1991 Nissan New Cabstar Pick Up vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Nissan New Cabstar 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.
