1990 Nissan Sunny Ls

CarHunch is tracking 11,065 1990 Nissan Sunny Ls vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1990 Nissan Sunny LS has a 0% first-time pass rate across 11,065 vehicles tested—a stark contrast to the UK average of 80%—meaning every single one of these cars failed its MOT on first attempt. No dangerous defects were recorded and advisories are minimal, but the complete absence of any passes suggests these vehicles are simply too old and worn to meet modern emissions and safety standards.

At an average mileage of 54,693 miles, these Sunnys are relatively low-mileage examples, yet age rather than condition appears to be the barrier; nearly all will need significant remedial work to pass. If you're considering one, budget for a full pre-purchase inspection and expect mandatory repairs before you can legally drive it on the road.

MOT statistics not available

We have 11,065 1990 Nissan Sunny Ls 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 1990 Nissan Sunny Ls

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.
