How we use engine sizes.
Nissan Almera fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Nissan Almera from 2000, when the data begins, to 2006. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2006), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 30.4 to 49.6 mpg, with CO2 of 152 to 223 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2006
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2006
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Almera”, “Almera - N16 Series”, “Almera Tino”, “Almera Tino V10 Series”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Nissan Almera safety recalls
DVSA lists 12 safety recalls for the Nissan Almera since 1992, the first in 2000. The most recent was launched on 17 August 2018.
A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used during previous recall to replace this component
Launched 17 August 2018DVSA recall R/2018/100Manufacturer ref. PG8BA / PS8B0
Defect
In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.
Remedy
Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Nissan Almera. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
