2014 Pulse WY 0.1L Petrol · FY64 AMK

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in October 2022 at 12,320 miles resulted in a pass following failures for an insecure rear mudguard, air filter housing, rear rack, and a faulty registration plate lamp. While these are minor trim defects, the previous failure of the front wheel bearing suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they trigger a test failure. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 2014 model, averaging just over 1,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the June 2021 test at 11,273 miles and the October 2022 test, where only 1,047 miles were covered. This suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking front tyre noted in the June 2021 test record despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must focus inspection on the front wheel bearing, as it was flagged as slightly rough in June 2021 and failed for being rough in October 2022. The low mileage increases the risk of seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and dry-rotted seals due to lack of use. Physical inspection of the rear rack and air filter housing is necessary to ensure the repairs made in 2022 have remained secure and not vibrated loose again.
