Nissan Nv200 (2019)
2019 Nissan Nv200
CarHunch analysed 826 real MOT records for the 2019 Nissan Nv200. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Nissan NV200 falls slightly short of the UK average with a 77.9% first-time pass rate, and diesel variants are notably weaker at 76.4% compared to the electric version's stronger 82.4%—a significant gap worth considering if you have a choice. More concerning is that nearly 30% of these vans have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, suggesting structural or safety issues warrant close inspection on any used purchase.
At 50,000 miles median, these vans are running relatively low mileage for five-year-old vehicles, yet they're still racking up an average of 1.36 failures per MOT and 4.6 advisories, indicating that age and use are catching up with them. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the failure patterns—suspension, emissions, and braking defects are common—and strongly favour the electric variants if available, as they show better MOT longevity.
What to check before buying a 2019 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.
- ⚠️ 29.1% 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.
