NISSAN PULSAR Common
As of 2026 Q1, 20,801 NISSAN PULSARs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 21,907 in 2018 Q3 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1,106 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 243 a year (1.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2085 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the PULSAR
The Nissan Pulsar (Japanese: 日産・パルサー, Hepburn: Nissan Parusā) is a line of automobiles produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan from 1978 until 2000, when it was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in the Japanese market. Between 2000 and 2005, the name "Pulsar" has been used in Australia and New Zealand on rebadged versions of the Sylphy. This arrangement continued until the introduction of the Nissan Tiida (C11) in 2005; at this time the Pulsar name was retired. In 2013, Nissan replaced the Tiida in Australia and New Zealand with two new models badged as Pulsar. These were based on the Sylphy...
