About the Nissan Almera

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Nissan Almera and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data covers 13 versions, from the Nissan Almera Classic (B10) and Nissan Almera (G11) to the Nissan Almera IV (N18) and the Nissan Almera Tino, with model years from 1995 to 2019. The body styles listed are Sedan and Hatchback, and power runs from 75 to 143 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show any of that. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, check that the VIN in the documents matches the one on the car, and that the model year and body style fit what the seller tells you.

How can I confirm which Nissan Almera version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, not a version name. Take the model year it returns, add the body style and power from the registration papers, and compare them with our list of 13 versions, such as the N16 or N17 entries.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Read all 17 characters on the car and check they match the registration papers exactly. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so one of them points to a misreading or a typing error. The 10th character stands for the model year, which should agree with the year in the documents.

What will the VIN decoder not tell me about a Nissan Almera?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not list the equipment or the exact engine of an individual car, so confirm those from the documents and the car itself.
