Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- 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 to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- 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 2018 Pulsars in Europe came with Renault-sourced small dCi diesels (commonly a 1.5 dCi) and a manual gearbox — tidy on fuel but fitted with a DPF/EGR system that prefers regular longer runs to regenerate properly. The Pulsar wasn’t a big seller and was effectively dropped from some markets after 2018, so resale values are weak here, but parts and independent servicing are straightforward through Nissan dealers and aftermarket workshops in Ireland.
- DPF and EGR behaviour — check for warning lights and ask if the car has mostly short urban trips (failed regenerations are common on mostly city use).
- Clutch and dual-mass flywheel condition — feel for slipping or chatter and check for smooth gear engagement across all ratios.
- Turbocharger and boost hoses — listen for whine or rattle and look for oil leaks around the turbo and intercooler pipes.
- Underbody and rear suspension for corrosion or worn bushes — check rear arches, subframe and lower suspension arms for rot or impact damage.
