Nissan Nv200 (2014)
2014 Nissan Nv200
CarHunch analysed 3,414 real MOT records for the 2014 Nissan Nv200. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Nissan NV200 is a noticeably weaker performer than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 72.4% against 80%, and a troubling 45.9% of vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above acceptable for a buyer-consideration vehicle. Diesel variants, which make up 90% of the cohort, fare marginally worse at 71.7%, while the small electric sample passes at 77.6%.
At a median mileage of 74,331 miles for a ten-year-old van, these vehicles are running typical to slightly hard, yet they're racking up an average of 3.39 failures and 13.9 advisories per test, suggesting systemic wear issues rather than isolated problems. If you're considering one, budget for repairs, request a full service history, and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brakes, suspension, and structural rust—common failure categories for work vans of this age and duty cycle.
What to check before buying a 2014 Nissan Nv200
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 45.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
