2016 Nissan Leaf Electric · BD16 ABX

The 2016 Nissan Leaf holds a valid roadworthy confirmation, with the DVSA examination on 5 February 2026 at 23,776 miles producing a pass and zero defects. Across the five tests from February 2022 to February 2026 the maintenance trend stays stable. No failures, advisories, or recurring mechanical faults appear in the official record. The electric drivetrain negates exhaust emissions checks, and structural integrity drew no criticism. Registered in 2016, the car shows low yearly use, averaging roughly 2,378 miles annually against its age. The mileage log reveals an irregular pattern. The test on 7 February 2022 recorded 15,517 miles. Twelve months later, on 3 February 2023, the odometer read 29,942 miles, a plausible 14,425 mile gain. The following 6 February 2024 test then listed 19,522 miles, a drop of 10,420 miles versus the prior year. Subsequent tests climbed to 21,047 miles on 8 February 2025 and 23,776 miles on 5 February 2026. This reversal signals a possible odometer inaccuracy, clerical error, or undeclared instrument replacement that a buyer must verify through service history. Despite the clean MOT slate, a decade of age demands physical inspection of consumable and structural items the tests did not flag. The tester noted no corrosion or suspension bushes wear, yet prolonged low mileage can hide perished rubber and lightly seized brake calipers. The buyer should examine coil springs, brake discs, and underbody for structural rust. Confirm battery health and charging system, as these fall outside MOT scope. Previous keepers attended every annual test and avoided defects, implying statutory upkeep was met, but the mileage inconsistency clouds provenance.
