Quick summary

Total: 1,617 cars

The 2021 Nissan E-NV200 exhibits a higher overall defect rate of 98 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 79 defects per 100 for vehicles of the same year, representing a 24% increase. It shows a noticeable trend of increasing defects as mileage increases, particularly in the 62,000-93,000 mile range. However, the E-NV200 performs better than average in categories such as steering and body structure, with significantly lower defect rates. Conversely, it struggles with visibility, lights and electrics, and equipment, which are all considerably higher than the average. Overall, while the E-NV200 excels in some areas, it faces challenges that impact its reliability compared to similar models.
