NISSAN ALMERA Common
As of 2026 Q1, 19,742 NISSAN ALMERAs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 129,159 in 2014 Q3 — only 15% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 109,417 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 3,442 a year (17.4% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 54% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the ALMERA
The Nissan Almera is a line of sedans produced by Japanese manufacturer Nissan since 1995. The early generations, including the first-generation N15 and second-generation N16, were classified as compact cars (C-segment) and were essentially the European export versions of the Nissan Pulsar. Starting with the third-generation N17, the Almera was reclassified as a subcompact sedan (B-segment), built on the Nissan V platform. This version has been marketed under five different nameplates in various international markets.
