Could suit you if…
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2014–2018 Pulsars with diesel engines use the Renault-sourced small common-rail diesel paired to a 5- or 6-speed manual. Expect a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and EGR system on this variant — these work best when the car has done plenty of longer runs. Parts are widely available and fairly affordable in Ireland, but Pulsar nameplate demand is low so resale can be weak.
- DPF condition — ask for evidence of regular long-run use or recent forced-regens; heavy soot build-up is common on mainly urban cars
- EGR/intake carbon — check for rough running or a history of EGR cleaning or replacement
- Turbocharger — test on hard acceleration for whine, lag or smoke and inspect for oil leaks
- Clutch operation — check for slip, judder or a high bite point and ask if the clutch or dual-mass flywheel has been replaced
- Manual gearbox synchros — ensure smooth changes into first/second and no crunching into reverse
