Pre-MOT checklist for E-NV200 owners
Based on the failure profile above, ten minutes with a torch before your test removes the most likely fail items:
- Check tread with the 20p test and inspect sidewalls for cracking — tyres close to the limit are the country’s most common advisory
- Walk round with all lights on: one blown bulb is the most avoidable fail there is
- Feel for a spongy pedal or pulling to one side; check pad wear through the wheel spokes if visible
- Replace smeared wiper blades and top up washer fluid — both are test items
- Bounce each corner and listen for clonks over speed bumps — suspension is this model’s (and the UK’s) top failure system
An illuminated engine management light is a Major MOT defect. Read the code, repair the cause, then confirm the light stays off — clearing a code alone is not a repair.

Same-vehicle follow-up
The defect groups above are a single-year count. The prognosis registry follows the same vehicle_id into the next MOT year. The extracts do not record the repair, a turbo part number, or a gearbox type.
- Tyres: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
- Brakes: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
- Suspension: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
- Body, chassis, structure: advisory follow-up · did the same fail item hold
On this model, these certificate lines have a published follow-up (cohort at least 200 cars):
- Tread depth worn close to legal limit/worn on edge — 621 cars · 2.9% failed the same item the next year
- Brake discs worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened — 314 cars · 1.0% failed the same item the next year
