Quick summary
Total: 1,050 cars
The 2017 Nissan NV400 has an overall defect rate of 217 defects per 100 vehicles, which is significantly higher than the average of 134 defects per 100 vehicles for its year, representing a 62% increase. Notably, as mileage increases, the defect rate for this model also rises sharply, particularly in the higher mileage segments. The NV400 stands out negatively in several categories, with issues in brakes, visibility, lights and electrics, and body structure being significantly more frequent compared to average cars. These findings suggest that while the NV400 may be robust in some areas, its overall reliability, especially concerning critical safety components, raises concerns.
