Nissan Almera MOT reliability
In 2025, 55.7% of Nissan Almera MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 60.7% of the time, so the Nissan Almera does worse than average for its age, by 5.0 points.
DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Nissan Almeras tested, the GTI among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Nissan Almera page.

Data sources and methodology
| Figures | Source | Period | Records | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed and SORN counts | Vehicle licensing statistics Department for Transport | End of June 2026 | 212 Nissan Almera GTI records (licensed and SORN) | 2 October 2026 |
| MOT results (whole model) | Anonymised MOT tests and results Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Derived statistics UK Motoring | 2025 | 11,249 MOT tests | 15 September 2026 |
- 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, from 2007.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “ALMERA 2.0 GTI”, “ALMERA GTI”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
