2020 Nissan Leaf E + N-TEC Electricity · EY70 JXG

This 2020 Nissan Leaf E+ N-TEC presents a fully clean MOT record with zero defects across all three recorded tests, including the most recent pass on 18 December 2025 at 45,062 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and unbroken. No advisories, failures, or recurring mechanical concerns appear in the DVSA history, suggesting consistent upkeep and no emerging faults with the braking, suspension, steering, or structural integrity of the vehicle. The mileage progression tells a clear and steady story. Between the September 2023 test at 22,852 miles and the December 2024 test at 33,957 miles, the car covered 11,105 miles in approximately 15 months. That rate then slowed, with just 11,105 miles added over the following 12 months leading to the December 2025 test at 45,062 miles. The annual average sits at roughly 7,510 miles, which is typical for a six-year-old EV used for regular commuting and local driving. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. With no flagged defects in the MOT history, a buyer's in-person inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not fully interrogate. Examine the high-voltage battery state of health using a dedicated Leaf diagnostic tool, as the official range and degradation level are not tested during an MOT. Check the charge port, cable, and onboard charger for signs of heat damage or wear. Inspect the underside for corrosion to the subframe, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or used sparingly during the slower mileage period noted between 2024 and 2025. On the test drive, pay close attention to the regenerative braking system's calibration and any unusual drivetrain whine from the electric motor reduction gearbox, as these are common wear items on higher-mileage Leafs. Verify that the 12-volt auxiliary battery is in good condition, since repeated failures can cause electrical gremlins even when the main traction battery is healthy. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but an independent EV-specific pre-purchase inspection remains the most reliable way to confirm long-term viability of this vehicle's battery and drivetrain.
