2015 Nissan Pulsar 1.5L Diesel · DV65 WWP

As a 1.5L diesel, this Pulsar is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and a relatively low tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for long-distance driving, though actual costs will depend on driving style and load.

Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine diesel engine upkeep and periodic replacement of wear items like tyres and suspension components, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate. Expect typical maintenance costs to be influenced by the higher-than-average mileage this specific vehicle has accumulated.

Specifically inspect the front suspension assembly. The MOT history for DV65WWP shows a recurring issue with the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which has progressed from 'slight play' to 'excessive wear' and back to 'slight play' over the last three years. Check for any knocking or clunking sounds when turning the steering wheel or driving over bumps.

Additionally, inspect the rear braking components. With a history of pitted/scored discs, thin pads, and a binding rear brake, you should check the condition of the rear calipers and discs for signs of corrosion or uneven wear. Finally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and all exterior lighting, as these were noted as defects in the most recent June 2026 MOT.
