2018 Nissan Leaf Electric · BD18 LHC

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the available historical data. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 March 2022 at 20,021 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance history up to that point, with no mechanical failures or structural integrity issues identified by the tester during the inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 8-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. However, there is a significant data gap in the record as the last recorded test occurred in early 2022, meaning the vehicle has not been tested for over four years. This suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods or is used very infrequently. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, periods of inactivity can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion-related issues in the braking system. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage deactivation. It is essential to check the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or seizing, as infrequent use often leads to binding brakes. Suspension bushes and rubber arm arm bushings should also be inspected for cracking or dry rot. Given the lack of records since 2022, verifying the age of the tyres and fluid condition is vital, as these degrade over time despite having significant tread depth.
