Pulse Wy 125 T 74 Lightspeed 2 (2014)
2014 Pulse Wy 125 T 74 Lightspeed 2
CarHunch analysed 261 real MOT records for the 2014 Pulse Wy 125 T 74 Lightspeed 2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Pulse is a deeply unreliable proposition, with just a 3.6% first-time MOT pass rate compared to the UK average of 80%—essentially, 96 out of every 100 fail their test. The 0.4% rate of dangerous defects is mercifully low, but the overall picture is grim: these machines simply don't meet roadworthiness standards.
The median mileage of 3,149 miles suggests these are lightly-used machines, yet they're still failing at catastrophic rates, pointing to chronic design or manufacturing problems rather than age-related wear. With nearly zero failures and advisories recorded per vehicle on average, the MOT data suggests the issue isn't component deterioration but fundamental unsuitability for road use. If you're considering this model, walk away—no amount of servicing will fix what appears to be systemic unreliability.
What to check before buying a 2014 Pulse Wy 125 T 74 Lightspeed 2
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
