2025 Leapmotor C10 Electricity · AB56 AUD

The vehicle currently possesses no official DVSA MOT history, which is expected given its 2025 manufacture date as the first statutory inspection is not required until the vehicle reaches three years of age. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend through official testing records. However, as the vehicle remains within its initial manufacturer warranty period, the primary focus for a buyer should be on the adherence to the official service schedule rather than historical test failures. There is insufficient mileage data available to determine the annual usage rate or identify any abnormal patterns of accumulation. For a vehicle of this vintage, the buyer must manually verify the odometer reading against the digital service record to ensure consistency. High mileage in a short period may accelerate the wear of suspension components and tyres, whereas excessively low usage can lead to secondary issues such as battery degradation or the seizing of mechanical components. Given the lack of recorded defects, the physical inspection should prioritise components that degrade regardless of mileage. Particular attention must be paid to the brake discs and calipers; because electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, the traditional friction brakes are often underutilised, which can lead to surface corrosion or binding calipers. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for uneven braking pressure. Additionally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, and ensure the tread depth is consistent across both axles to rule out alignment issues. Finally, the buyer should verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can fail prematurely in electric vehicles if the car is not driven regularly. Check the service book for evidence of time-based maintenance, specifically the replacement of brake fluid, which degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. A thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody for any impact damage or early signs of corrosion is advised, alongside a full diagnostic check of the high-voltage system and onboard electronics to ensure all manufacturer software updates have been applied.
