2012 Nissan Leaf Electricity · VE62 AEG

This 2012 Nissan Leaf shows a low total mileage of 48,211, which averages to roughly 3,444 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests light usage, the MOT history indicates that the vehicle has spent significant time sitting idle or being used for very short, infrequent journeys, which can lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and braking systems seen here. The mechanical trend is currently concerning. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, it did so with advisory notices for worn suspension bushes and thinning rear brake pads. These issues have been persistent; the suspension bushes were flagged in both 2024 and 2025, and the rear brake pads have been noted as wearing thin since 2024. This suggests that the owner has been performing the bare minimum to keep the car roadworthy rather than addressing the underlying wear. The 2024 MOT failure is the most significant red flag in the vehicle's history. It highlighted excessive play in the steering components, uneven tyre wear, and an insecure battery tray. The fact that the suspension and brake issues have lingered across multiple inspections indicates that the vehicle's condition is not improving. The recurring tyre wear issues, combined with steering and suspension play, suggest the car may have suffered from poor wheel alignment or impact damage that was not fully corrected.
