EA18 OPN MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2018 Nissan E-Nv200 (EA18 OPN) between June 2022 and August 2024.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 07 August 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 5 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Body component damaged and likely to cause injury lamp unit has sharp edge (6.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Seat belt webbing significantly weakened (7.1.2 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”.

Common Problems: NISSAN E-NV200
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- High-voltage traction battery capacity loss and passive thermal throttling(Serious)
The e-NV200 (both 24 kWh and 40 kWh versions) utilizes a passively air-cooled lithium-ion traction battery located beneath the cargo floor, lacking active liquid cooling or refrigeration. In intensive commercial delivery duty, sustained motorway cruising combined with repeated DC fast-charging (CHAdeMO) quickly raises cell temperatures above 45°C. To protect cell health, the Battery Management System (BMS) severely throttles rapid charging speeds down from 46 kW to 12–18 kW ('Rapidgate'), substantially lengthening commercial turnaround times. Repeated thermal stress also accelerates irreversible battery capacity loss, visible via lost capacity bars on the cluster gauge and reducing real-world winter range to 60–80 miles on 40 kWh models and 30–45 miles on early 24 kWh vans.
- 12-volt auxiliary battery discharge causing failure to start(Moderate)
Although equipped with a large high-voltage lithium-ion propulsion battery, the e-NV200 depends entirely on a standard 12V lead-acid auxiliary battery to power the onboard control units (VCM and BCM) and energise the high-voltage safety contactors. Frequent short delivery stops, leaving the van parked in accessory mode, or continuous parasitic draw from commercial telematics equipment drains the small 12V unit. If 12V terminal voltage drops below approximately 10.5V, the high-voltage contactors cannot pull in, the van refuses to switch into 'READY' drive mode, the gear selector stays locked in Park, and a cascade of spurious warning lights appear across the binnacle.
- On-Board Charger (OBC) and Power Delivery Module failure preventing AC charging(Serious)
The integrated AC on-board charger (housed within the Power Delivery Module / PDM beneath the bonnet) can develop internal component failure, including degraded high-voltage smoothing capacitors, blown internal safety fuses, or short-circuited rectifier diodes. When the OBC fails, the vehicle completely rejects AC charging from domestic 3-pin trickle cables, dedicated home wallboxes, or public Type 2 destination charge points, often tripping the home or commercial depot RCD consumer unit instantly upon connection. DC rapid charging via the front CHAdeMO port typically remains operational because it feeds directly to the traction battery, bypassing the internal AC charger. Main dealer replacement of the entire PDM assembly is expensive, though independent EV electronics specialists provide component-level board repairs.
