2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · BD72 YON

This Nissan Leaf has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness history, passing its most recent MOT test on 27 October 2025 with no defects recorded at 10,469 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has met all current UK MOT standards for brakes, emissions, lighting, and structural integrity at that point. However, the test’s proximity to the current date—just under nine months old—means a thorough inspection is essential to confirm no wear or degradation has developed since then, particularly in high-stress areas like the suspension or battery connections. The recorded mileage of 10,469 miles over approximately four years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging just 2,617 miles annually. While low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension, it can also signal prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate corrosion or battery degradation in an EV. The lack of intermediate mileage readings makes it impossible to determine whether the vehicle was stored or driven intermittently, but the single MOT pass at this low mileage does not raise immediate red flags beyond the need for a current condition check. Given the sparse MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting the high-voltage battery system for any signs of degradation or corrosion at connectors, as EVs are particularly susceptible to battery-related issues over time. The suspension should be examined for worn bushes or coil spring fatigue, even at low mileage, as prolonged static loading can compromise rubber components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the lack of past failings suggests this area is likely sound. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is critical to assess for corrosion, especially given the Leaf’s electric powertrain which may have been stored without regular movement. The test’s clean record does not absolve the need for these checks.
