Nissan e-NV200 2018: MOT failure rate for its age
25.1% of 1,190 MOT tests of the Nissan e-NV200 first registered in 2018 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 100.5 (95% CI 89.1–111.9; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2018 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 25.1 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 1190 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 89.1–111.9) | 100.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 1190 |
| Rank among this model's 3 build years | 2 | of 3 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 1190 |
| Tested in 2024 | 396 | tests | median 36,323 miles | 2024 | 396 |

How does the 2018 Nissan e-NV200 fail at each age?
Cars built in 2018 were tested at ages 3 to 6 between 2019 and 2024. Each row compares their first-time failure share with what this model normally shows at that age, after allowing for the overall failure level of each test year.
| Age | Tests | Failed, % | 95% interval | Normal for this model at that age, % | Index (100 = normal) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 390 (rough estimate) | 26.4 | 22.3–31 | 25.2 | 104.8 |
| 4 | 406 (rough estimate) | 21.9 | 18.2–26.2 | 25.6 | 85.5 |

How every figure is calculated: methodology. Age, test year and build year are tied together (age = test year − build year), so the test-year level is taken as observed, not estimated.
