Our Verdict
This 2020 Nissan Leaf in blue shows a so
When inspecting this 2020 Leaf, examine the front brake discs closely, as advisories for pitting and scoring were logged in 2023, 2024, and 2025 before clearing on the September 2026 test. Confirm whether the front discs have been replaced recently or if they still require attention in the near future. Check the service documentation to verify brake fluid changes and general maintenance intervals alongside the MOT records.
Review the condition of all four tyres, noting that the September 2024 test included failures for both front tyres being worn close to or below the legal 1.6mm limit. Ensure the current tyres have healthy tread depths and match reputable brands. Additionally, check the operation of the charging ports and request a state of health (SoH) report for the high-voltage traction battery to understand its current capacity.
As an electric vehicle running purely on electricity, this Leaf benefits from zero road fund licence costs under current UK VED structures. Insurance should sit within a moderate grouping typical for a modern family hatchback, though exact premiums will depend on individual driver history and postcode.
Maintenance costs are generally lower than internal combustion equivalents due to fewer moving parts, but tyres can wear faster on electric vehicles due to instant torque delivery, as evidenced by the 2024 tyre failure. Factoring in home charging electricity costs, routine servicing, insurance, and wear-and-tear items, the estimated annual running cost sits around £900 to £1,200.
Pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The MOT history notes recurring advisories for front inner brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests, so verify if these components were replaced prior to the September 2026 pass. Check suspension components and seat belt buckles, which align with common model failure points noted in aggregate data.
Inspect the tyre treads carefully across all corners, keeping in mind the previous 2024 MOT failure for both front tyres falling below legal requirements. Finally, test all cabin electronics, infotainment functions, and safety restraint systems, noting the 2026 advisory regarding a child seat restricting the full inspection of an adult seat belt.
First registered in September 2020 and finished in blue, this Nissan Leaf has recorded 36,507 miles over its lifespan, resulting in a clean pass at its September 2026 test. The record spans five annual tests with one failure recorded in September 2024 due to worn tyres and brake disc advisories that appeared consistently across 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. With a low annual mileage footprint averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year, it tracks well below typical aggregate expectations for the model.
The Nissan Leaf demonstrates a reliable track record in aggregate data with an 85.3% average MOT pass rate, though suspension arms and tyres remain common areas for attention.
