2015 Nissan Leaf Electric · EY65 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The June 2026 test at 28,626 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean outcome from the June 2025 test at 27,167 miles. This indicates that any previous issues regarding consumable wear have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, such as the 1,149-mile increase between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and brakes, the infrequent usage pattern seen throughout the history suggests the car may spend long periods stationary. The MOT history reveals a recurring trend of tyre degradation due to perishing or cracking rather than heavy tread wear. Between August 2021 and June 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged various tyres for being slightly damaged or cracking. This pattern is typical for low-use vehicles where rubber compounds age and lose elasticity despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer should inspect the sidewalls and tread of all four tyres to ensure they are not showing signs of dry rot or age-related cracking. Beyond the tyre issues, the record is remarkably free of structural or mechanical failures. The 2021 test required a minor adjustment to the internal headlight adjuster, but no issues involving suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust emissions were noted. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre-related advisories, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be the condition of the rubber components and the battery health, as long periods of inactivity can affect both.
