2015 Nissan Leaf Electricity · DY15 WFO

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2015 Nissan Leaf is currently failing, with a clear deterioration trend in the most recent MOT test dated 2025-10-31. The vehicle has demonstrated a consistent pattern of failure, with the latest inspection at 50,226 miles showing a rear registration plate that deteriorated slightly but was not likely to be misread, suggesting a lack of proactive maintenance. This is the first time the rear registration plate has been inspected in the last 11 years, and the deterioration of the registration plate itself indicates a significant gap in the vehicle's upkeep, which is a critical indicator of structural integrity risks. The mileage profile reveals a pattern of rapid accumulation that contradicts the vehicle's age of approximately 11 years. While the total mileage of 50,226 miles over this period suggests a lower mileage usage or longer standing periods, the data is sparse and difficult to interpret without more context. The gap between the 2025-10-31 test and the 2024-11-12 test marks a significant interval where the vehicle was not tested, potentially leading to wear on suspension components and other drivetrain parts. The absence of a 2024-03-12 test date suggests that any wear accumulated during this period has not been recorded, which makes it difficult to determine if the vehicle has been maintained consistently over time or if major wear has occurred without documentation. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly on the rear registration plate, which has deteriorated from the 2025-10-31 test. The suspension components, including the lower suspension arm ball joint, have been flagged as excessively worn in the 2022-10-14 test, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained correctly. Given the recent MOT record, the buyer should verify the condition of the rear registration plate and the brake discs, as these are the most likely components to fail given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recent maintenance history.
