If a Nissan GT-R fails, does it fail again?

11.6% of Nissan GT-Rs that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 6.3% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 363). The failure most likely to come back is ‘noise, emissions and leaks’: 8.5% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Nissan GT-R cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Nissan GT-Rs tested at age 5, about 3 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 8 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Nissan GT-R MOT: quick answers

What is the Nissan GT-R first-time MOT pass rate?

93.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (2,371 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 2,371 primary tests: 6.2% failed first time and 95.3% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 19.5 is shown separately.
