2018 Nissan Leaf Electricity · DP67 MSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention regarding consumables. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 55,616 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside perishing across all four tyres. These issues mirror findings from the June 2024 test at 47,974 miles, indicating a recurring pattern of neglecting component wear. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between August 2020 and June 2022, where the car covered roughly 13,000 miles over two years. Since 2022, the usage has remained steady, adding about 10,000 miles annually. The low annual mileage suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components noted in recent advisories. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre condition, as the repeated cracking and perishing suggest the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of remaining tread depth. The front brake discs require immediate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and to prevent premature wear on new pads. Additionally, the undertrays mentioned in 2022 should be checked for any signs of impact damage or loose mounting, as these protect the battery housing and lower motor components from road debris.
