2014 Nissan Pulsar 1.5L Diesel · DA64 TYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the history reveals a period of significant mechanical neglect followed by reactive repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 126,038 miles showed only minor consumable defects like a wiper blade and a misty light, the preceding year marked a sharp decline in the vehicle's maintenance standard. The trend suggests that the owner only addressed critical safety issues after a major failure, as evidenced by the extensive 2025 failure list rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 126,038 miles over twelve years, the Nissan Pulsar averages approximately 10,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a consistent mileage pattern with roughly 12,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 11,000 miles in the year leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than left stationary, which explains the visible signs of wear on the suspension and tyre components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2025 failure flagged multiple critical issues including an offside front ball joint, a nearside anti-roll bar linkage, and a fractured offside rear coil spring. Although these were supposedly repaired to pass the subsequent test, the recurrence of slight play in the offside ball joint shortly after suggests the components may be reaching the end of their life. The tyre pressure monitoring system has been a recurring fault since 2023, indicating a persistent sensor or wiring issue that remains unaddressed.
