2021 Nissan Leaf Electricity · DV71 PLO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 8,834 miles passed, but it introduced advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates that while the mechanical components remain functional, basic maintenance regarding tyres has been neglected in the final interval. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,767 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 3,013 miles and the November 2025 test at 8,834 miles, the car covered 5,821 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mile driving can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should physically inspect the front axle end geometry, as the edge wear noted in the 2025 advisory often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for brake surface corrosion on the rotors, as the vehicle may have sat for extended periods between tests. Verify the age of the tyre rubber to ensure they have not perished or cracked despite having sufficient tread depth.
