The NISSAN ALMERA (2000-06) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 16V SXE is a practical five-door family hatchback from Nissan’s mainstream range. It offers passenger and luggage space in a manageable size. In the UK used-car market, it sits between small city cars and family cars, with a 1.8-litre petrol engine for driving. mycarcheck.com has 33 look-ups for this version, spanning 18 VINs, a helpful but modest sample. Checked cars averaged £900 in private-sale valuation, 88,000 recorded miles and 3,000 miles a year; they had around 3.7 previous keepers. These are observed figures, not a condition or asking-price guarantee for any individual car. Well suited to commuters, couples and small families, it offers affordable transport and convenient rear access. The SXE is better-equipped and its 1.8 petrol engine feels livelier than smaller-engined alternatives. Less fashionable than a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, it often appeals to buyers valuing practical motoring over badge appeal.
