Is the Nissan 350Z ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 5,705 MOT tests, around 50% of Nissan 350Z models still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 50%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 100% petrol. Every petrol 350Z in the data (2003 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 350Z
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006).
- Petrol (100% of 350Z models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Nissan 350Z for London: what the MOT data shows
The Nissan 350Z models in this data were first registered between 2003 and 2018. 2005 was the most common year, with 1,297 tests (23% of the total), and half were registered in 2005 or later.
Almost every 350Z in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2018) passed first time 83% of the time at 26,467 miles on average, and the oldest (2003) passed 70% at 95,572 miles.
On a budget, the oldest petrol 350Z models likely to comply are from 2006. 912 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 70% of the time and averaged 86,527 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 350Z's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (5.1% of tests); suspension: "pin or bush excessively worn" (3.0%); noise, emissions and leaks: "Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits" (3.0%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 15.0% of tests.
Overall, 73% of 350Z models passed first time, roughly in line with the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 81,960 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
