Second Hand Nissan Almera Wiper Blades

The Nissan Almera ran across two main generations: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), and these are distinct body designs with different windscreen shapes and wiper arm fittings, so blades from one generation will not simply swap to the other. Wiper blades are sized and attached to suit the specific screen and arm of each generation, meaning you need to source blades that match your generation. Always confirm the exact arm fitting type with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect wiper blade fitment on the Nissan Almera N16 — the windscreen, wiper arms, and blade sizes are the same across S, SE, and Sport variants. Any cosmetic differences between trims are in the interior and bodywork, not the wipers. A set of wiper blades from any N16 Almera should suit your car regardless of trim, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as a final check.

Whether a rear wiper is fitted depends on the body style — the Almera was available in hatchback and saloon forms, and rear wipers were typically fitted to the hatchback but not the saloon. Front and rear wiper blades are different sizes and use different arm fittings, so they are not interchangeable with each other. When sourcing a rear blade, tell the breaker your body style and registration so they can match the correct part.

The N15 Almera received a facelift during its production run, but the fundamental windscreen and wiper arm design remained consistent across the N15 generation (1995–2000). Wiper blades from an earlier N15 should therefore be compatible with a later facelifted N15, as the fitting points did not change. That said, confirm the arm attachment type with the breaker against your registration before buying, as small specification changes can occasionally occur mid-run.

Wiper blades are sized and fitted to the specific windscreen and wiper arm of each model, and different Nissan models from the same era do not necessarily share the same blade length or arm attachment. The Primera has a notably larger screen than the Almera and the blades are unlikely to be a direct swap. Stick to sourcing blades listed for the Almera N16 specifically, and check with the breaker if they are quoting you a part from a different model.

Wiper blades are a wear item and their rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage, so a used blade from a breaker may already be perished or streaky even if it looks intact. Where buyers typically find value at a breaker is in the wiper arms themselves, which are metal components that last much longer and can be damaged or corroded on an otherwise healthy car. If you need blades to wipe cleanly, new aftermarket blades are widely available and inexpensive for the Almera — but if it is the arm or motor you need, a breaker is a sensible route.
