2024 Nissan Ariya Advance E-4ORCE 2.2L Electric · D19 DAH

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this Nissan Ariya was conducted on 22 May 2025 and resulted in a PASS, with no defects or advisories recorded against the vehicle. Reviewing the broader MOT history, the car has passed every relevant annual test since its first presentation in June 2022, and although one entry dated 30 May 2024 initially shows as a FAIL, this appears to be a clerical duplicate or an administrative re-keying of the same test rather than a genuine mechanical failure, as no defects are recorded against it. The overall maintenance trend can therefore be considered stable and consistent, with no recorded advisories relating to tyres, brakes, suspension, lighting, or corrosion. The absence of any advisory items across multiple tests suggests that the consumable components inspected under the MOT regime have been replaced or maintained at appropriate intervals prior to wear limits being reached. With regard to recorded mileage, the vehicle is approximately two years old and has covered 37,874 miles, which equates to an annual usage rate of roughly 18,937 miles per year. This is a notably high annual figure for a vehicle of its age and substantially exceeds the typical UK average mileage of around 7,500 to 10,000 miles annually. Such intensive use will place greater mechanical demand on the high-voltage battery system, electric drive units, suspension components, brake friction material, and tyres than would be expected for a low-mileage example. The mileage progression between tests also appears broadly continuous, indicating the vehicle has been in regular service rather than left standing for extended periods, which is generally favourable for mechanical condition but warrants closer inspection of wear-prone items. Given the clean MOT record and the high annual mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on the physical condition of components that suffer proportional wear to distance travelled. The tyres should be examined closely for tread depth across the full width of the carcass, as well as for uneven wear patterns which could indicate tracking, suspension misalignment, or worn dampers; even if the most recent MOT recorded no tyre advisories, high mileage can see a full set consumed within a year. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for wear ridge at the disc outer edge, and the caliper slides should be checked for free movement, as binding calipers are a common issue on high-mileage vehicles and may manifest as pulling to one side under braking or uneven pad wear. It is also prudent to inspect the underside of the vehicle, including the protective undertrays and battery enclosure, for any signs of impact damage from kerbing or road debris, which is more common on vehicles used for high annual mileages often covering varied road conditions. Time-based servicing items remain important despite the absence of MOT-recorded defects, particularly on an electric vehicle of this age. The 12V auxiliary battery should be tested for state of health, as low mileage is not a factor here but battery age still applies, and the high-voltage system coolant and reduction gear oil should be confirmed as changed in accordance with Nissan manufacturer schedules. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades over time regardless of mileage, so confirmation of a recent fluid change is advisable to prevent corrosion within the ABS modulator and brake lines. Additionally, the cabin and high-voltage heating filters should be inspected or replaced if required, and the charging port and cable inspected for any signs of physical damage or contamination. A road test should include checks for any unusual noises from the suspension over undulating roads, smoothness of regenerative and friction braking, and confirmation that the driver assistance systems, including lane keeping and parking sensors, function as intended.
