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

Of every 100 Nissan Muranos tested at age 15, about 30 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 44 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Does the Nissan Murano fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 62.8% of Nissan Muranos failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 573 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.
