About the 2016 Nissan NV200

The 2016 Nissan NV200 is a van. Our records list this model year as electric, but most of the model's other years are petrol or diesel, so the fuel type and running costs here may be wrong. 5,644 MOT tests were recorded on this model in 2024, making it a reasonably common sight on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 9% of 2016 models for MOT pass rate.

With an average of 79,269 miles recorded at its 2024 MOT tests, Nissan NV200 owners cover more miles than the average driver.

What does it cost to own a 2016 Nissan NV200?

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,130 (£94/month), broken down as £555 electricity, £20 road tax, £55 MOT, and £500 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 77% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

Nissan NV200 Reliability Trend

Newer Nissan NV200s pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 8 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Buying a Used 2016 Nissan NV200

At 10 years old, the Nissan NV200 is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2021 model has the highest pass rate at 87%. With 5,644 MOT tests in our data, there's strong statistical confidence in these figures.

Common Issues to Watch For

These are typical issues for cars of this age, fuel type and engine size, not faults recorded on this model's MOT tests. Use them as a checklist when you view one.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
