What does a Nissan Figaro cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Nissan Figaros tested at age 14, about 36 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 36 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Nissan Figaro MOT: quick answers

What is the Nissan Figaro first-time MOT pass rate?

62.4% of first attempts passed in 2024 (2,413 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 2,413 primary tests: 37.59% failed first time and 67.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 92.7 is shown separately.
