Buying Tips for the Nissan Almera (N16)

  • Listen carefully for timing-chain rattle on 1.5 and 1.8 petrols, especially from cold.
  • Inspect rear arches, floor edges and the front subframe for corrosion.
  • An occasional non-start can point to crank or cam sensor faults rather than a dead engine.
