2017 Nissan Leaf Electric · AF17 VPA

The 2017 Nissan Leaf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 78,502 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 41,128 miles at the April 2022 test, rising to 54,385 by April 2023, 67,890 by April 2024, and 78,502 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles added each year, a slight uplift over the lifetime average of 8,722 but consistent and steady rather than sporadic. No gaps exist between tests and no sudden accumulation suggests neglect or excessive commercial use. Because the DVSA entries flag no corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues across any examination, the history gives no technical basis to suspect hidden structural or mechanical faults. The clean run implies previous owners kept basic consumables and statutory items within limits. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers, suspension bushes, and underbody for rust, as MOT passes do not certify component life remaining beyond the test day. Given the electric drivetrain, the buyer should verify battery state of health and coolant condition, items outside MOT scope. The absence of advisories means no recurring problem trend exists to monitor. At 78,502 miles the Leaf stands as a low-risk used purchase on the evidence of its test record alone.
