Nissan Sunny MOT reliability
There were not enough MOT tests of Nissan Sunnys in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. DVSA names the model, not the version, so no separate figures exist for the GTI.
Other versions of the Nissan Sunny
Versions of the Nissan Sunny with their own page. The Nissan Sunny page covers all 301 licensed, whatever the version.
| Version | Licensed | SORN | Still registered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Sunny Sequel | 14 | 113 | 2.1% |
| Nissan Sunny GTI | 11 | 94 | 6.1% |

Data sources and methodology
| Figures | Source | Period | Records | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed and SORN counts | Vehicle licensing statistics Department for Transport | End of June 2026 | 105 Nissan Sunny GTI records (licensed and SORN) | 2 October 2026 |
- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “SUNNY GTI”, “SUNNY GTI 16V”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
