Used Nissan Almera Seat

The Nissan Almera ran across two main generations in the UK: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), and seats are not interchangeable between these two generations as the body shells and interior mountings differ. Within each generation you should be able to source a matching seat, but always confirm the exact year and trim with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Both the 2001 and 2004 Almera fall within the N16 generation (2000–2006), so fitment is much more likely than crossing into the earlier N15. However, trim level and door count also affect whether the seat will match your interior, so tell the breaker your trim and whether you have a 3-door or 5-door when you request a quote.

These two years sit either side of the generation boundary: the 1999 car is an N15 (1995–2000) and the 2001 car is an N16 (2000–2006), so the generations do not match. Whether any crossover fitment is possible across that boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against both registrations, as we cannot guarantee interchange here.

Yes, trim level can affect seat style on the Almera — higher trims such as Sport and SE sometimes featured different upholstery or seat designs compared to entry-level trims like E and S, so a seat pulled from a different trim may look noticeably different even if it bolts in. The mechanical mounting points within the same generation are generally consistent, but check with the breaker whether the seat from the donor car matches your trim to avoid a mismatch in finish.

Yes, driver's (OS, offside) and passenger's (NS, nearside) seats are handed and are not interchangeable, so make sure you specify clearly which side you need when getting a quote from the breaker. Getting the side wrong is one of the most common ordering mistakes, so double-check before confirming.

If the seat contains a side airbag or the car has a pretensioner seat belt mechanism integrated into the seat, these are safety-critical, single-use components — once deployed they cannot be reused and must be replaced, not refitted. We strongly recommend professional fitting for any seat that includes airbag or pretensioner components, and you should confirm with the breaker that neither has been deployed on the seat you are buying; compatibility of any airbag module with your specific SRS system is also something to verify with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.
