2020 Nissan Leaf Electric · DP70 KZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 27, 2026, 44,380 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs evidenced by a failure just three days prior at 44,379 miles due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While this specific defect was rectified to secure a clean pass, the failure indicates that components are being addressed once they reach critical wear limits rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,416 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress motorway mileage, though the intervals between tests sometimes mask underlying rubber-component degradation if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the history reveals recurring issues with tyre wear and ball joints. The 2025 test flagged both offside front and rear tyres as being close to the legal limit, while the 2023 test noted a nearside rear tyre issue. This pattern suggests a potential alignment fault or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully addressed. Inspect all remaining ball joints and control arms for play to ensure the recent ball joint failure was not an isolated incident within a broader front-end wear trend.
