About This Data
The 2000 Nissan Cabstar E has an MOT pass rate of 50.7% based on 71 tests — below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 77,729 miles on the odometer. With a 49.3% failure rate, the 2000 Cabstar E is rated as "Poor" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 2000 Nissan Cabstar E, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to body, chassis, structure: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. At 77,729 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
Body, chassis, structure — 5.6% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 5.6% of MOT failures on 2000 Nissan Cabstar E models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
Tyres — 2.8% of failures
Tyres issues account for 2.8% of MOT failures on 2000 Nissan Cabstar E models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Identification of the vehicle — 1.4% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 1.4% of MOT failures on 2000 Nissan Cabstar E models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
