Known faults for Nissan Nissan NV200
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: NISSAN NV200
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Tailgate gas struts corrode and let the door drop (recall R/2016/081)(Moderate)
The DVSA notice is unusually physical for a small van: the paint coating on the back door gas stay does not meet the anti-corrosion requirement, so the outer tube can corrode, crack and lose its pressurised gas, leaving the stay unable to support the rear door - which then drops on whoever is loading. It covers NV200 vans built from 1 August 2009 to 27 November 2015 and e-NV200s built from 1 April 2014 to 4 March 2016, 4,377 UK vehicles between them. My MOT Checker's summary of the register repeats the same defect and the fix, which is replacement of the gas stay. Any used van kept outside will be showing the same corrosion around the door hinges and stays regardless of whether the campaign was done.
- Ignition switch and park lock recalls plus a load of commercial wear items(Moderate)
The rest of the NV200's recall cluster is worth checking in one go: R/2018/234 covers vans built between 30 March and 29 May 2017 where a surface defect on the internal ignition switch spring could stall the engine while driving and even affect airbag operation, and R/2020/294 covers 2,547 vans built between July and September 2019 where a poor weld on the park lock actuator plate inside the reducer could let the park lock fail. Alongside that, the RAC's ownership survey flags stuck sliding doors, evaporative emissions faults on 2013-2017 vans letting fumes into the cabin, and a starter, alternator and battery trio that gives up on delivery work.
