In 2025, 91.4% of Nissan Ariya MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Nissan Ariyas tested pass 89.5% of the time, so the Nissan Ariya does better than average for its age, by 1.9 points.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Nissan Ariya since 1992, the first in 2023. The most recent was launched on 20 November 2025.
All 4 Nissan Ariya recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Nissan Ariya. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
