2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · AX22 DKK

The MOT history for this 2022 Nissan Leaf presents a sparse but uneventful roadworthiness picture, with only two recorded tests since its introduction and the most recent pass on 27 January 2026 showing no defects at all. The sole advisory on file, a nearside front wiper blade with rubber splitting recorded at the July 2025 test, is a typical consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical concern. With no advisories carried forward, no failures, and no repeat defects across the two tests, the vehicle has avoided the chronic brake, suspension, or corrosion patterns that often surface on vehicles of this age, though the brevity of the MOT record itself means there is limited longitudinal evidence from which to draw strong conclusions about long-term durability. Recorded mileage stands at 33,621 miles over approximately four years of age, which equates to a broadly typical annual accumulation rate of around 8,400 miles per year. There are no apparent gaps in the testing history that would indicate the car was off the road for extended periods, nor any recorded mileage inconsistencies between tests that might suggest rapid accumulation or clock irregularities. This steady usage profile is mechanically relevant in that the high-voltage battery, electric drive components, and undercarriage have seen regular operation rather than prolonged standing, while the brake discs, tyres, and suspension linkages have accumulated wear at a moderate, expected pace rather than suffering the uneven corrosion or perishing that can affect either heavily used or long-stationed vehicles. For a prospective buyer, the test-drive focus should be on the components and systems not formally inspected at MOT but central to the driving experience of a 2022 Leaf. Given the lack of recorded brake or suspension advisories, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower arms and anti-roll bar bushes, which are common wear items on Nissan EVs carrying their battery mass. On the road, monitor brake pedal feel for any binding, judder, or excessive travel, as the regenerative braking system can lead to rear caliper seizure through lack of use, and check that the steering remains precise and free of vibration or pulling. Under the vehicle, inspect the underside for any fresh corrosion on subframe and suspension components, given the absence of any rust advisories on the record. The wiper blade advisory, although minor, is worth addressing with a new blade pair at purchase, and the windscreen should be inspected closely for any chips or pitting that might require repair. Given the electric powertrain, attention should also be paid to the dashboard for any State of Health warnings regarding the traction battery and to the charging cable and port for signs of damage or wear. Finally, confirm the operation of all lighting, infotainment, climate control, and ADAS systems such as lane keep assist and emergency braking, as none of these are covered by the MOT record but represent the kind of electronic complexity that can develop faults on a vehicle of this age and specification.
