2016 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · HT16 AEN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-31 at 57,428 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the 2024-07-04 test shows conflicting outcomes: a pass and a fail at the same mileage, which may reflect administrative error or unresolved issues. No defects were recorded in the 2023-07-04 or 2022-07-15 tests, suggesting consistent compliance with safety standards prior to the 2024 anomaly. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent records implies no immediate mechanical risks, though the 2024 inconsistency warrants further verification. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,428 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,743 miles annually, a low figure for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes and battery health. A notable jump from 46,742 miles in 2024 to 57,428 miles in 2025—over 10,000 miles in 12 months—may indicate increased usage or potential odometer discrepancies. The sparse defect history between 2022 and 2023 implies minimal mechanical degradation, but the sudden mileage rise requires scrutiny to confirm accuracy. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness from inactivity. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be checked, as standing periods can lead to corrosion. While no structural rust or brake issues were flagged, the 2024 failure—despite no recorded defects—warrants a detailed pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity and resolve any ambiguities in the MOT history.
