Nissan Primera Slx Auto (1998)
1998 Nissan Primera Slx Auto
CarHunch is tracking 103 1998 Nissan Primera Slx Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1998 Nissan Primera SLX Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—every single vehicle in this cohort failed its MOT. The median CarHunch score of 50 reflects this poor showing, and there are no recorded dangerous defects among the 103 cars analysed, which is the only silver lining.
These vehicles are now 26 years old, and the complete failure rate suggests they're either in poor mechanical condition or already off the road; the lack of mileage data indicates most may no longer be registered for active use. Unless you're buying one for restoration as a classic, this model year represents a significant reliability gamble—have any prospective purchase independently inspected by a trusted mechanic before committing.
We have 103 1998 Nissan Primera Slx 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 1998 Nissan Primera Slx 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.
