2024 Nissan Leaf Tekna Electric · DF24 WLL

The DVSA records show that this 2024 Nissan Leaf Tekna has no MOT history available, which is expected for a vehicle of this age as the first statutory test is not required until the end of its third year. Consequently there is no trend of pass or fail outcomes to analyse, and the absence of any recorded failures or advisories simply reflects that the car has not yet been subjected to a formal MOT inspection rather than indicating any underlying condition. Mileage data has not been supplied, so an assessment of annual usage cannot be quantified. For a two‑year‑old electric hatchback a typical driver would have accumulated between 15,000 and 30,000 miles, equating to roughly 7,500‑15,000 miles per annum. If the vehicle has been used considerably less than this, components such as the tyre sidewalls and rubber seals may have suffered from ageing rather than wear, while a high‑kilometre figure would suggest greater wear on the suspension bushings, brake pads and regenerative‑braking system. Without a mileage figure the prospective buyer should treat the car as potentially low‑usage but verify the odometer reading and cross‑check with any service book entries or fleet records. Given the vehicle’s relatively young age and the lack of a formal MOT, the buyer should concentrate on time‑based inspections. The high‑voltage lithium‑ion battery pack should be examined for any warning lights on the instrument cluster and, if possible, have its state of health checked with a diagnostic tool to confirm capacity and balance; a loss of more than 10‑15 percent of the original capacity would be a sign of premature degradation. The tyre tread depth should be measured and the sidewalls inspected for cracking, dry rot or bulging, as rubber can deteriorate even on low‑mileage cars that have been stored for extended periods. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface corrosion, glazing or uneven wear, and the hand‑brake should be tested for proper engagement, especially if the car has been parked for long intervals. A visual inspection of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and battery mounting points, is prudent, as early rust can develop on steel components despite the vehicle’s electric drivetrain. Finally, verify that the vehicle’s software is up to date, including the Battery Management System and any driver‑assist features, as manufacturers frequently release over‑the‑air updates that improve range and safety. Check that the 12 V auxiliary battery is in good condition, as a weak starter battery can cause intermittent electronic faults. Ensure that the coolant for the battery thermal‑management system has been replaced according to the service schedule, typically every 30 000 miles or two years, whichever comes first. A thorough test drive should include listening for any unusual noises from the suspension, feeling for any pull or vibration that could indicate tyre or alignment issues, and confirming that regenerative braking operates smoothly without judder. These checks will give a realistic picture of the car’s mechanical and electrical health before committing to purchase.
