2015 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · RO15 OMR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass in February 2026 at 46,378 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent instability that has since been addressed. While the car passed its previous tests, it failed just one day prior due to a defective windscreen wiper and an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The fact that the owner rectified these specific mechanical faults immediately suggests a proactive approach to resolving MOT failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 10,872 miles, indicating consistent low-distance usage patterns. This low mileage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or light corrosion on brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between drives. A prospective buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring issue with suspension arm components. The tester flagged a worn offside front arm bush in February 2024 at 38,101 miles, followed by the failed nearside ball joint in early 2026. This sequence indicates the front suspension assemblies are reaching the end of their functional life. Verify that there is no remaining play in the linkages. Given the age and low mileage, checking the brake discs for pitting and the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking is also advisable.
