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.

- 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 SE”, “ALMERA SE AUTO”, “ALMERA TD SE”, “ALMERA SE DCI”. 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 number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
