2017 Nissan Leaf Electric · FN17 RHE

The 2017 Nissan Leaf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 57,013 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual checks also passed cleanly, showing no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the available history. The vehicle has cleared every MOT on record without mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage sits at 57,013 miles against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,335 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 33,675 miles on 9 March 2022, 44,032 miles by 12 June 2023, 51,525 miles on 23 August 2024, and 57,013 miles at the final test. No excessive gaps or sudden jumps appear, and the clean pass sheet at each stage suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. Given the absence of flagged items, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of standard wear components not always captured on an EV MOT. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers, since the Leaf's low annual mileage can allow standing moisture to act on metal surfaces. Tyre sidewalls and tread, wiper blades, and underbody structural integrity warrant a visual check despite no advisories being raised. The DVSA data alone shows no evidence of neglected maintenance or serious risk. A pre-purchase look at the high-voltage battery health and charging port condition remains sensible, as these fall outside MOT scope yet define the car's real value.
