2021 Nissan Leaf E + N-Connecta Electricity · BP70 RYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 101,106 miles passed with a minor defect regarding a missing brake fluid reservoir cap. While the car has passed consecutive tests, the previous failures for lighting and tyre legality indicate that the owner frequently neglected basic pre-test checks until prompted by a formal MOT failure. The mileage profile indicates high intensity of use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 20,000 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage occurred between January 2024 at 85,397 miles and June 2024 at 95,291 miles, representing nearly 10,000 miles in just five months. This rapid accumulation suggests long-distance motorway driving, which typically accelerates wear on consumable components such as suspension bushings, brake friction materials, and tyre rubber compared to lower-mileage city examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and brakes, as the January 2024 failure for a nearside front tyre below the legal limit suggests a history of ignoring tread depth. Given the high mileage, the structural integrity of the lower control arms and dampers should be checked for premature wear or perished rubber. The missing brake fluid cap noted in late 2025 also warrants a check to ensure no moisture has entered the hydraulic system, which could lead to internal corrosion or brake caliper failure over time.
