Nissan Nv200 (2021)
2021 Nissan Nv200
CarHunch analysed 243 real MOT records for the 2021 Nissan Nv200. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Nissan NV200 is a notably reliable van, with a 92% first-time MOT pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. Only 9% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests this model is safe in use.
These vans are running light at just 16,118 miles median—typical for their age—and averaging fewer than 0.3 failures per vehicle, which indicates robust build quality. When you inspect one, pay particular attention to the advisory items (averaging 1.2 per van) as they often flag wear items coming due; ask the seller for the full MOT history to see whether the same defects are recurring across test cycles.
What to check before buying a 2021 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
