2016 Nissan Leaf Electric · FP16 PVU

The 2016 Nissan Leaf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 98,778 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 10 February 2025 at 96,535 miles. The vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults across its recent test history, indicating consistent upkeep by prior keepers. Recorded mileage sits at 98,778 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,878 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of EV. The DVSA data shows a gap between 18 October 2022 at 83,833 miles and 26 January 2024 at 92,474 miles, where the car failed without recorded defects before passing cleanly on 28 February 2024 at 92,487 miles. Annual accumulation then settled to around 4,000 miles per year through 2026, suggesting lighter commuting use rather than motorway wear. The January 2024 failure with no defects logged points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection, not a structural or brake defect. No tester flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers at any stage. The clean sweep of passes from February 2024 onward implies the previous owners addressed whatever triggered the earlier rejection and kept consumables within limits. A buyer should still verify battery state of health and charging function, as MOT testing does not cover EV drivetrain. Inspect tyre sidewalls and brake disc condition in person despite no advisories, since the 2025 to 2026 annual test showed only 2,243 miles covered and standing periods can encourage flat spots or surface rust on rotors.
