The NISSAN ALMERA (2000-06) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V SPORT+ is a compact, petrol-powered three-door hatchback from Nissan’s early-2000s range. It sits in the mainstream used-car class, offering an alternative to Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf models, with a sportier image than basic Almera versions. Three doors make it less convenient for rear-seat access than a five-door, but it can suit singles, couples, commuters or first-time buyers wanting an everyday car with a little more performance than a small city hatch. The 1.8-litre engine and Sport+ badge give this Almera a livelier character, while its hatchback shape keeps it versatile for shopping and trips. mycarcheck.com records 72 look-ups across 32 VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checked cars averaged £400 in private-sale valuation, 93,000 miles and just over four previous keepers; annual mileage averaged 7,000. These figures describe checked vehicles, not a guarantee for every car.
