2013 Nissan Leaf Electric · A5 XFP

The 2013 Nissan Leaf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 62,040 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 36,409 miles at the 11 March 2022 test, rising to 41,038 miles by 11 March 2023, 49,982 miles on 11 March 2024, 51,251 miles on 15 March 2025, and 62,040 miles by 21 March 2026. Annual accumulation stayed below 5,000 miles throughout, confirming the roughly 4,772 miles per year average. No gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear in the data. The five consecutive passes with zero advisories indicate the previous keepers maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage EVs of this age often stand unused for extended periods, which accelerates perishing of suspension bushes, droplink rubbers, and tyre sidewalls even when tread depth remains legal. The Leaf's 2013 chassis is susceptible to underbody corrosion where road salt sits undisturbed. Check the brake discs for lip and the calipers for seizure given the low annual use. Verify the 12-volt auxiliary battery health and inspect the HV battery cooling vents for blockage. The MOT history shows no structural or mechanical faults, but the absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test.
