2017 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · DP66 DAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor reactive repairs in recent months. The most recent test in March 2025 at 115,117 miles passed with advisories for a loose nearside front mirror and a front tyre worn to the legal limit. These issues contrast with the clean records seen in 2022 and 2021, suggesting a decline in proactive preventative maintenance as the vehicle has aged. The mileage data reveals a significant anomaly in usage patterns between December 2022 and March 2024. The vehicle covered 80,192 miles in just 15 months, which equates to over 64,000 miles per year during that period. This far exceeds the historical average of approximately 12,800 miles per annum. Such high-intensity use places extreme strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, though the mileage dropped significantly in the following interval, recording only 115,117 miles by the March 2025 test. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system due to the failure in November 2021 where the nearside front service brake showed excessive fluctuation. While this was rectified, the subsequent high-mileage surge in 2023 increases the likelihood that the brake discs are worn or are nearing replacement. The recurring history of tyre issues—perishing in 2024 and edge wear in 2025—indicates potential alignment problems or neglect of basic upkeep that requires a physical check of the suspension geometry and tyre integrity.
