Our Verdict

Exercise significant caution. While the

The most critical point for negotiation and inspection is the December 2025 MOT failure, which cited missing road wheel fixings on all four wheels and exposed ply/cords on a front tyre. You must verify that these safety-critical items were replaced with genuine parts and that the wheels were correctly torqued.

Request detailed invoices for the suspension work carried out in late 2025, specifically for the track rod ends and the offside front lower suspension arm. Given the recurring nature of these failures, ensure the repairs were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes. As this is a 2013 electric vehicle, you should also independently verify the battery's state of health, as this is not captured in MOT records.

As an electric vehicle, this Leaf offers lower fuel costs compared to internal combustion alternatives. It likely falls into a low or zero-rate VED tax band, and insurance groups for this model are generally moderate.

However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car. The MOT history shows a high frequency of tyre replacements and suspension component failures, which are common for the model but appear frequently here. Estimated annual running costs, including electricity, insurance, and the likely need for suspension upkeep, are approximately £600-£900.

Prioritise a physical inspection of all wheel nuts and bolts to ensure they are present and secure, following the failures recorded in December 2025. Closely examine the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends, as these have been flagged in multiple tests (2024 and 2025).

Check the offside front Macpherson strut for the corrosion noted in the January 2024 MOT to see if it has progressed. Finally, inspect the current condition of all tyres, as the history shows a pattern of tyres being run until the cords are exposed or they reach the legal limit.

This grey 2013 Nissan Leaf has recorded 69,566 miles, which is below the model average of 6,328 miles per year. However, the MOT history is concerning, showing multiple failures related to basic maintenance and safety, most notably in December 2025. The vehicle has a recurring pattern of suspension wear and tyre neglect.

The Nissan Leaf has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.3%, though suspension arms and tyres are among the most common failure points for the model.
