2019 Nissan Leaf Electric · CV62 ANN

Five MOT tests are recorded for this 2019 Nissan Leaf between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent outcome on 23 October 2025 being a pass with no defects recorded, immediately following a same-day failure that also recorded no defects, suggesting a minor administrative or retest scenario rather than a substantive mechanical fault. The earlier tests in 2022, 2023 and 2024 likewise returned clean passes with no advisories, and crucially there are no corrosion advisories on the subframe, suspension components or brake pipes, nor any flagged wear items on the tyres, brake discs or coil springs. With no advisory history at all across five tests, there is no documented mechanical trend to interpret; the record is simply one of consistent roadworthiness outcomes at the points of test. The recorded mileage of 19,391 against an age of around seven years equates to roughly 2,770 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age and indicates either limited daily use or extended periods of standing. The testing pattern shows a first MOT in August 2022, a second a year later in August 2023, and then a longer gap until November 2024 before the twin October 2025 entries, while the implied annual mileage progression suggests the car has been driven gently rather than covering long motorway distances. For an electric vehicle of this vintage, low mileage reduces wear on the traditional consumables such as brake discs and pads, which are less stressed under regenerative braking, but it does mean the tyres, suspension bushes and CV joint gaiters may have aged through environmental exposure rather than mechanical use, and the 12V auxiliary battery will have experienced standing periods. Because the MOT record carries no advisories, there are no specific components flagged for the buyer to scrutinise on inspection, but the low-mileage usage profile does warrant particular attention to items that deteriorate with age rather than distance. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn strut top mounts, drop links or anti-roll bar bushes; pay attention to steering feel for any vagueness, pulling to one side or clonking through the column that could point to worn track rod ends. Inspect the tyres for cracking or perishing of the sidewalls and check the manufacturing date, as older tyres harden and lose grip regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for any surface rust pitting or lipping, particularly given the low mileage, and check that the calipers are sliding freely and not binding, as seized calipers are common on cars that see infrequent use. The high-voltage traction battery health is not assessed at MOT and warrants separate verification through a diagnostic tool showing State of Health and cell voltage balance, particularly important given the low usage pattern which can accelerate capacity loss if the vehicle has been stored at high or low states of charge. Confirm that the charging cable and port function correctly on both AC and DC sources where applicable, and that the on-board charging timer and any heat pump or resistive heater systems operate as expected. A pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with the Leaf platform is advisable to confirm the integrity of the battery pack, as the MOT record alone cannot establish this. Given the clean advisory history and the relatively gentle usage profile, the documented mechanical picture at the point of test is favourable, though a prospective buyer should still satisfy themselves on the items outlined above before committing.
