2015 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · EY65 ACZ

The 2026-02-17 MOT passed with only an oil leak recorded under 8.4.1 (a) (i), confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Maintenance appears stable, as the 2025 test showed no defects and the 2026 result introduced only a minor fluid issue rather than new mechanical failures. At 34,629 miles the 2015 Nissan Pulsar averages about 3,148 miles per year, a low figure that suggests extended periods of inactivity. Mileage spikes between 2019 and 2023 added roughly 3,000 miles annually, while the increase from 2025 to 2026 contributed 2,180 miles, indicating a modest rise but still below the vehicle’s age‑related expectation. The recurring tyre lumps noted at 27,664 miles and the repeated brake pad wear below 1.5 mm point to possible suspension or braking fatigue; inspect suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for wear or damage. The 2019 headlamp aim faults indicate alignment may have been adjusted, so verify current headlamp positioning and examine the chassis for any structural rust. Additional considerations include monitoring the oil level after the 2026 leak and checking the exhaust system for corrosion that could affect structural integrity. Overall, the history shows intermittent maintenance but no clear trend of worsening mechanical decline.
