E-Nv200: middle-of-the-pack on first-time pass

Across 5,433 MOT tests, the E-Nv200 returns 77.6% first-time pass — roughly in line with the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is wipers that don't clear the screen. Tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning and a defective wiper blade round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 28,744, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through.

Buying or keeping a E Nv200?

Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.

If you own a E Nv200 and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
