The Nissan Almera ran across two main generations in the UK: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), with the N16 receiving a facelift around 2003 that brought changes to the front end including the grille and bumper area. The bonnet latch is generation-specific, so you must make sure the part matches your generation first and foremost. Within each generation, factors like door count, roof style, and trim level do not affect the latch itself as the bonnet and its catch mechanism are shared across body styles on the same platform.
Both a 2001 and a 2005 Almera are N16 generation, but the N16 received a facelift around 2003, and it is unclear whether front-end components including the bonnet latch are interchangeable across that facelift boundary. You should confirm directly with the breaker, quoting both registration plates, so they can verify whether the specific latch and striker plate will match before you commit to buying.
No, trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment — the latch mechanism is the same across Almera trim grades such as S, SE, and SVE within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences around the bonnet area depending on trim, but the latch and striker assembly itself is not trim-dependent. Just make sure the generation and facelift period match your car.
No, engine size has no bearing on bonnet latch fitment for the Almera — the bonnet and its latch are shared across the petrol and diesel engine variants within a generation. Whether your car has a 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.8 petrol, or a diesel, the latch will be the same part. Focus on matching the generation (N15 or N16) and checking the facelift period with your breaker.
The N16 facelift arrived around 2003 and brought updates to the front end, so whether the bonnet latch and striker plate interchange across that boundary is not something that can be confirmed with certainty here. Confirm with the breaker quoting your registration alongside the donor vehicle's registration, as they will be able to physically compare the parts and advise whether they will mate up correctly.
Yes — within the same generation and facelift period, the bonnet latch is the same part regardless of whether the donor car is a 3-door hatchback or a 5-door, as the front-end structure and bonnet are shared across body styles on the same platform. Door count is not a factor you need to worry about when searching for this part.
