2017 Nissan Leaf Electric · DU17 EAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on July 8, 2025 at 86,453 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a brief failure in July 2024, which suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to achieve a successful re-test. Mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. The record shows a steady increase of 17,123 miles between April 2022 and July 2023, followed by another 11,983 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. This pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for the health of an electric vehicle's cooling system and brake components, as it prevents flat-spotting tyres and caliper seizing. While the history is clean of recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related wear at nearly 90,000 miles. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Given the lack of advisories in the latest test, checking the condition of the brake discs for pitting and the remaining depth of the tyres is essential to ensure the maintenance trend continues under the next ownership.
