Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Xtronic CVT WearSerious
The CVT is smoother than older Nissan units when healthy, but neglected fluid changes still lead to shuddering, whining and very expensive rebuilds.
- 1.6 dCi DPF and Turbo TroubleSerious
Repeated short journeys clog the DPF and can overload the turbo, turning a supposedly economical diesel family SUV into a very expensive fix.
- ABS / ESP Warning Lights from Poor Earth ConnectionModerate
A poor engine-earth connection can trigger multiple warning lights and make the fault look far more serious than it actually is.
