2015 Nissan Pulsar 1.6L Petrol · SW65 KCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 105,774 miles passed, it flagged a series of advisories related to brakes, suspension, and tyres that suggest components are reaching the end of their service. The trend shows a recurring cycle where faults are only addressed once they reach a failure point, as evidenced by the significant failure in 2025 where multiple critical safety defects were identified. At 105,774 miles over eleven years, the Nissan Pulsar averages roughly 9,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical domestic use. However, there is a notable surge in usage between December 2023 (61,307 miles) and April 2025 (84,028 miles), where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in just sixteen months. This period of high intensity correlates with the accelerated wear seen in the components, particularly the track rod ends and suspension arm bushes which failed during inspection in that period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows persistent issues with corroded brake pipes and hoses, alongside thinning rear pads and scored discs, indicating the rear braking assembly is due for attention. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and suspension arm bushes have been flagged for play and wear across multiple tests, suggesting the front-end components are nearing further failure. Additionally, the misting on the offside rear shock absorber and the recurring edge wear on tyres should be checked for alignment issues and structural leaks.
