2016 Nissan Pulsar 1.6L Petrol · CV16 AFA

The 2016 Nissan Pulsar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 57,611 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 25 April 2025 at 57,600 miles also showed a clean sheet. A two-day failure on 23 April 2025 at the same mileage carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from March 2023 to February 2026, the vehicle cleared every valid test without advisories. The mileage pattern confirms very light use for a ten-year-old car. The tester logged 49,825 miles in March 2023, 52,484 miles in March 2024, and 57,600 miles by April 2025, equating to roughly 2,500 to 5,000 miles per year. Between April 2025 and February 2026 the odometer moved only eleven miles, indicating the car stood largely idle for most of that period. Low annual accumulation and the absence of any flagged wear items point to a gently used vehicle, though prolonged static storage can allow tyres, brake calipers, and suspension bushes to degrade without obvious road wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components that suffer from disuse rather than mileage. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after the near-year of minimal movement, and inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots from standing. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber and any structural underbody corrosion that a clean MOT may not capture on a low-mileage example. Given the unbroken pass record and negligible defect history, the Pulsar shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action. The previous keeper clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA testing without advisories, but the 2025 two-day fail with no defects warrants a check of the full certificate to confirm it was not a documentation anomaly.
