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.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at 163,800 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
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.
