Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 2.0% of tests record it — this model is 2.3× that share |

| The model's own record | 262,149 tests · every year of the Navara → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Nissan Navara tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
