- What is the GVRI for the Nissan Vanette?
- The Nissan Vanette has a Gera Vehicle Risk Index (GVRI) of 76/100 (Very High Risk), computed from 3,196 DVSA Anonymised MOT class-4 (car) normal tests in 2016. The UK fleet average GVRI is 37/100. A GVRI of 0 = lowest risk; 100 = highest.
- What is the MOT fail rate for the Nissan Vanette?
- The Nissan Vanette MOT fail rate is 53.6% based on 3,196 class-4 normal MOT tests recorded by DVSA in 2016. This means 53.6% of tests resulted in a 'Fail' outcome. The UK class-4 normal test fail rate across the fleet is 25.0%.
- Is the Nissan Vanette a high-risk car to insure?
- The GVRI of 76/100 places the Nissan Vanette in the Very High Risk band, above the UK fleet average of 37/100. Higher GVRI means higher mechanical defect risk from real MOT data, which correlates with claim risk. However, insurance premiums also depend on driver profile, postcode, NCB, annual mileage, and policy type — the GVRI is one indicator, not a premium quote.
- How is the Gera Vehicle Risk Index calculated?
- GVRI = 0.6 × MOT_fail_rate + 0.4 × avg_defect_severity_norm, min-max scaled 0–100. MOT fail rate = failed tests ÷ total class-4 normal tests. Defect severity = mean severity of 'F' items per failed test (1 = standard failure, 3 = dangerous item). Full methodology on the GVRI methodology page. Source: DVSA 2016 data, OGL v3.0.
