2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · DS72 LUB

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a successful inspection on December 2 2025. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability, as the failure recorded just four days prior in late November 2025 was immediately addressed. Since the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous failure was likely due to a minor consumable item or a specific adjustment requirement that was rectified quickly, rather than a systemic issue of mechanical neglect or structural decay. At 24,250 miles, the car has averaged a low annual mileage of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical short-distance commuting habits and suggests minimal wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushings and brake discs. The proximity of the November failure to the December pass, occurring with only two miles recorded between tests, indicates a high level of administrative oversight but suggests the owner was proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet roadlegal standards despite the initial test result. A buyer should still verify the specific cause of the November 2025 failure to ensure the repair was thorough rather than a temporary fix. Given the low mileage and electric powertrain, a physical inspection should focus on checking for dry rot in rubber components, such as tyres and wiper blades, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Examine the brake calipers for seizing or surface corrosion, as low-frequency use often leads to uneven rust on the rotors despite a clean MOT record.
