2016 Nissan Pulsar 1.5L Diesel · YM16 UAR

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in September 2025 at 88,673 miles. This recent result indicates that the mechanical and safety-critical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. While the history shows a period of reactive maintenance, the transition from a failed test to a zero-defect pass suggests the current owner is willing to rectify faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use family car, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between October 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in just fifteen months. However, the interval of 8,169 miles covered between January 2025 and September 2025 shows a return to standard usage. This consistent mileage generally helps keep rubber components supple and ensures the vehicle does not suffer from long periods of stationary neglect. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of wear in ball joints and bushes. Between 2024 and 2025, the tester flagged issues on both the offside and nearside front suspension arms. While these were cleared in the latest test, a buyer should check for any play in the steering or uneven tyre wear which could indicate incomplete repairs or poor alignment. The nearside rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in early 2025, so the remaining life of the braking components should be verified to ensure a full replacement was performed after that advisory.
