2019 Nissan Leaf Electricity · DM19 RVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention on wear components. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 62,591 miles passed, it identified multiple mechanical issues including an offside front suspension arm ball joint with play, pitted rear brake discs, and thin pads. These findings contrast with the clean record from June 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously without preventative replacement. The recorded mileage of 62,591 miles over seven years aligns with a consistent usage pattern of approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, with a 13,000-mile interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 10,000 miles leading to the most recent MOT. The failure in June 2024 at 52,536 miles due to exposed cords on the nearside tyre indicates that the previous owner neglected basic tyre maintenance until it reached a failure point. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the offside ball joint has been replaced and that no further play exists in the steering components. The rear braking system requires immediate attention as the combination of thin pads and pitted discs in 2025 will likely affect braking performance and cause noise. Given the history of uneven tyre wear in both 2022 and 2024, a thorough alignment check and inspection of tyres are essential to ensure the suspension is not causing premature consumable failure.
