2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · CF72 KPR

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 17 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of testing, the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards required by the DVSA. Given that the history is currently sparse due to the vehicle's relatively young age, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without immediate mechanical failures noted in the official record. The recorded mileage of 7,807 miles against a four-year-old vehicle represents exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 1,952 miles per year. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can also indicate that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. For an electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf, this pattern of use means that while traditional engine components are not a concern, other systems may be subject to degradation caused by lack of movement rather than physical wear. Since the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. Closely examine the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber can degrade and lose structural integrity from UV exposure and age even if the tread depth remains high. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear debris and prevent oxidation. You should also listen for any binding or uneven braking during your test drive, as calipers can seize if they remain stationary for long periods. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been performed. Even with low mileage, fluids such as brake fluid and coolant should be replaced according to manufacturer intervals to prevent moisture contamination and chemical breakdown. Given the low usage, it is also prudent to check the 12V auxiliary battery health, as frequent short trips or long periods of standing can lead to premature discharge or capacity loss. Finally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of uneven settling or dry rot, and ensure the vehicle's charging port and cables are free from any environmental corrosion or debris.
