2016 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · BD66 FDV

The most recent MOT on 2025-04-29 shows a pass but includes critical tyre-related failures . Both front and rear tyres were recorded as “perished” (cracked or damaged), violating regulation 5.2.3 (d) (ii). A defective nearside front side repeater lens and a damaged wing mirror indicator were also noted, though these had no effect on emitted light. A separate entry on the same date records a fail for parking brake efficiency (1.4.2 (a) (i)), suggesting inconsistent or unresolved issues. This contradiction may indicate a retest or administrative error, but the presence of both outcomes highlights ongoing concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre degradation and brake component wear . In 2023-04-27, the vehicle failed due to nearside rear tyre tread below 1.6mm and front brake pads less than 1.5mm thick. These issues reappeared in 2025, with tyres perishing and a parking brake defect. While the 2024 MOT was a pass (with minor issues like a TPMS light and child seat interference), the 2025 results suggest no significant improvement in critical areas. The trend indicates persistent tyre and brake-related risks , which could signal neglect or environmental factors (e.g., exposure to UV, heat, or road conditions).
