2015 Nissan Pulsar 1.2L Petrol · YF65 YSV

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows an improving trend following a period of significant mechanical neglect in late 2024. While the December 2025 test at 79,267 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, this followed a failure just one day prior due to a significantly worn nearside rear brake disc. This recent pass suggests the owner addressed the immediate braking issues, but the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 23,356 miles in October 2018 to the current 79,267 miles. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes, which suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or general transit. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and rear suspension components. The MOT history shows recurring issues with brake discs being pitted or scored, specifically noted in November 2023, December 2024, and December 2025. The December 2024 failure also flagged an excessively corroded offside rear brake pipe and an inoperative parking brake, indicating that the rear braking assembly has suffered from significant wear and corrosion. The 2024 inspection also highlighted multiple tyre defects and a track rod end with excessive play. Although these specific items were cleared for the 2025 pass, the frequency of tyre replacements and the presence of suspension wear suggest that consumables and steering components may require close scrutiny. Inspecting the underside for further brake pipe corrosion and checking the integrity of the rear suspension bushes and calipers is advisable to ensure the recent repairs are robust.
