2022 Nissan E-Nv200 — MOT failures & pass rate
949 MOT tests on the 2022 Nissan E-Nv200 are in this dataset, and 91.7% of them passed. Vans of a similar age fail 11.6% of the time, so this is 3.3pp better than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in visibility, tyres and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (4.5%) and tyres (4.4%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, joints and washers — wipers alone was recorded 52 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2022 E-Nv200 fails 10.1% of the time in the 0-30k band and 8.4% at 60-90k, a spread of only 1.7 points.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 13.1% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is worsening — 6.7% of tests failed in 2023 against 9.3% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |

| 5 | Other defects | 2.0% | 19 |
| 6 | Brakes | 1.9% | 18 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 603 | 10.1% |
| 30-60k | 254 | 3.9% |
| 60-90k | 83 | 8.4% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 120 | 6.7% |
| 2024 | 218 | 6.4% |
| 2025 | 611 | 9.3% |
What to check before buying a 2022 E-Nv200
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 4.5% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (4.5% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Tyres (4.4% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (3.6% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
