How the Nissan Figaro holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Nissan Figaro grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 4 | 100% |
| 6–10 years | 62 | 69.35% |
| 11 years and over | 2,251 | 68.41% |
The Nissan Figaro drops 31.6 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket, which is a steep decline. On an older example, the MOT history is worth reading closely before you buy.

What this means when buying a used Nissan Figaro
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Nissan Figaro came to its 2025 test at 94,005 miles and 23.7 years old. Most examples tested were petrol.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
