About the 2019 NISSAN SKYLINE

The 2019 NISSAN SKYLINE is a performance with a 3500cc petrol engine. 66 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2019, the average MOT pass rate is 90%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.

With an average of 87,029 miles at 7 years old, NISSAN SKYLINE owners cover more miles than the average driver. High-mileage examples should be checked carefully for wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components.

2019 NISSAN SKYLINE Fuel Costs

The 3500cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2019 NISSAN SKYLINE?

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,192 183/month), broken down as £1592 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 89% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

NISSAN SKYLINE Reliability Trend

The NISSAN SKYLINE has maintained consistent MOT pass rates across model years, varying by only 0 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2019 NISSAN SKYLINE

At 7 years old, this is a solid used buy if you find one with good service history. Depreciation has levelled off, so you won't lose much more value. Focus on condition over mileage. If you're flexible on year, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 98%. Note: with only 66 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2019 NISSAN SKYLINE's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Timing Chain / Belt

Watch out

At 7 years old, check whether the timing belt has been replaced (typically due every 5-7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles). A snapped belt can destroy the engine.

Oil Consumption

Medium risk

Larger petrol engines can develop higher oil consumption as they age. Check the oil level and look for blue smoke from the exhaust.

Suspension Wear

Medium risk

Shock absorbers, springs, and anti-roll bar links typically need attention around this age. Listen for clunks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear.

Clutch Wear

Medium risk

With an average of 87k miles, clutch replacement may be due (typical lifespan 60,000-100,000 miles). Budget £400-£800 for a new clutch kit.

Brake Discs and Pads

Medium risk

High-mileage cars often need brake disc replacement, not just pads. A full set of discs and pads costs £200-£500 per axle.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
