The NISSAN PRIMERA (2002-06) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V SVE AUTO is a roomy, five-door family hatchback, sitting between compact hatchbacks and larger saloons in the UK used-car market. Its practical rear access and automatic gearbox make it an alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Toyota Avensis, for drivers who prefer an easy-going drive. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission suit commuting, town journeys and family use, while the SVE grade gives the Primera a more upmarket feel than basic versions. It is best for buyers wanting space and comfort rather than a sporty or economical small car; its distinctive, angular styling also sets it apart from conventional family hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com recorded just seven checks across three VINs, so figures are indicative, not a broad market picture: average mileage was 88,000, annual use 4,000 miles and 3.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £200.
