2013 Nissan Leaf Electricity · HN13 UVE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last several years. The most recent MOT recorded in November 2021 at 75,901 miles passed with no defects or advisories, marking a significant step up from the 2018 inspection where the car failed on multiple counts. This clean record suggests that the current owner has maintained the vehicle and addressed previously identified mechanical issues effectively. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. Data shows a gap of 10,550 miles between May 2019 and November 2020, followed by a 6,677-mile interval between 2020 and November 2021. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or aged rubber components, though the record here does not indicate any neglect in this regard. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as the 2018 failure specifically highlighted a pitted offside front brake disc and a worn nearside rear tyre. Although these passed in subsequent tests, it is vital to verify the current thickness of the discs and ensure the calipers are not binding. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, checking the under chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushings for cracking is essential, as these components can degrade over time regardless of the miles driven.
