2016 Nissan Leaf Electric · DF16 AEU

The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 26,838 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable. No deterioration or new advisories appear across the five annual tests, suggesting consistent compliance with the minimum safety standards. Mileage has risen from 23,532 miles on 1 September 2021 to 26,838 miles on 8 September 2025, an average of roughly 660 miles per year—well below the typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. The incremental increase of 641 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, a modest 41 miles to August 2023, followed by larger jumps of 1,348 miles to September 2024 and 1,276 miles to September 2025, reflects periods of light use interspersed with modest annual mileage. No gaps in testing are evident; each year the vehicle was presented for MOT within the required twelve‑month window. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the high‑voltage battery pack and its state of charge, as these components are not covered by MOT testing. Visual inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear or corrosion remains prudent, even though no faults were recorded. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should be checked, alongside the integrity of the charging port and associated wiring. Finally, a thorough look for any surface rust on the chassis or wheel arches will confirm that the clean MOT record reflects genuine structural health rather than overlooked deterioration.
