2020 Nissan Leaf E + N-TEC Electricity · AF70 TYS

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 30 July 2026, indicating a stable maintenance trend following the resolution of previous consumable-related issues. The history shows a clear progression from minor tyre and brake disc advisories in 2023 and 2024 to a fault-free status in the most recent inspections. This suggests that the previous owner has addressed the necessary wear-and-tear items, bringing the vehicle up to a satisfactory standard of roadworthiness. There are no recurring structural or mechanical defects logged, which provides a positive baseline for the current condition of the vehicle. With a recorded mileage of 31,154 miles over six years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 5,192 miles per annum, which is notably lower than the national average. While low mileage often suggests a well-preserved interior and drivetrain, it can also lead to specific issues associated with infrequent use. You should be mindful that components such as brake discs and suspension bushes may have experienced periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to surface corrosion or premature stiffening of rubber components. However, the consistent annual testing indicates the car has remained in regular circulation, mitigating the risks typically associated with long-term storage. Given the 2024 advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs, you must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system during your test drive. Even if the discs were not replaced, they may have been cleaned or skimmed, so listen carefully for any grinding noises or vibrations through the brake pedal during moderate to heavy deceleration, which would indicate uneven surface wear or warping. Furthermore, check the inner and outer edges of all tyres for signs of uneven wear patterns or sidewall perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often retain tyres for longer periods, leading to rubber degradation from age rather than tread wear. Finally, as this is a fully electric vehicle, the low mileage profile makes it essential to verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, which is often the first component to fail on an electric car that has spent significant time sitting idle. Ensure all electronic systems function correctly and check that the charging port is free from corrosion or debris. Since the vehicle is six years old, you should also confirm that any time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid changes or cabin air filter replacements, has been carried out according to the manufacturer schedule, as these tasks are often overlooked when mileage-based service triggers are not reached.
