2017 Nissan Leaf Electric · AF17 KHM

The most recent MOT on 2025-03-28 shows a mixed outcome for the 2017 Nissan Leaf. While the vehicle passed inspection, a separate record from the same date notes a failure due to a nearside front tyre bulge, a structural defect that poses a safety risk. This indicates a critical issue with the tyre’s integrity, likely caused by separation or partial failure. No other defects were recorded in this test, but the presence of a failure alongside a pass suggests potential inconsistencies in the inspection process or documentation. The MOT history reveals a pattern of isolated, serious defects rather than recurring issues. A prior failure in 2023-03-17 cited a seriously weakened front brake disc, which was addressed before the subsequent pass in 2024. The 2025 tyre failure is the first major issue since then, and no other defects have been logged in the intervening years. This suggests the vehicle’s condition has remained largely stable, with only sporadic, repairable problems. However, the lack of detailed repair records for the 2023 brake disc failure makes it unclear whether the issue was fully resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,334 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,259 miles annually.
