Nissan E-NV200
Registered from 2013 to 2022.
What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 electric. 467 of 2,686 tests failed, 17%.
Better than 3% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 60% | 280 |
| Visibility | 38% | 176 |
| Lights and electrics | 25% | 117 |
| Brakes | 11% | 50 |
| Suspension | 7% | 33 |
| Body and structure | 4% | 17 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative
- A tyre seriously damaged
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 92% of 2020 cars — 38% of its 467 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 14%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

When it starts failing
At 60–80k miles this one fails 28% of its inspections, against the 14% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 10% | 5% | 1,143 | |
| 20–40k miles | 22% | 10% | 975 | |
| 40–60k miles | 23% | 13% | 434 | |
| 60–80k miles | 28% | 14% | 99 |
2,651 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.

Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/00391/21
Due to an error in the driver's airbag folding process, the heat shield may not move fully into position around the inflator when the airbag is activated.Consequently, hot gas can directly contact the front panel of the airbag, causing burn damage to the bag material. As a result, the airbag may tear during inflation reducing its protective function.
