2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · FT22 HMA

The 2022 Nissan Leaf holds a valid MOT pass as of 13 March 2026 at 26,958 miles, though the record reveals a mixed maintenance trend. The vehicle initially failed on that same date due to a parking brake efficiency deficiency and excessive lever movement, then passed a retest after the parking brake was adjusted. The offside front tyre continues to show edge wear with 3mm centre tread, recorded as an advisory in the pass certificate. The March 2025 test at 22,892 miles recorded no defects, so the parking brake fault appeared and was corrected within the last twelve months, while the tyre wear persists across both test cycles. The mileage progression sits at a typical annual rate of roughly 6,700 miles, with 4,066 miles accumulated between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. No extended gaps or abnormally rapid accumulation appear in the record. The low total mileage relative to the vehicle's age suggests light or infrequent use, which can allow components such as brake seals and suspension rubber to degrade through age rather than wear alone. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the offside front suspension and steering geometry. The recurring edge wear on the tyre indicates a likely toe or camber misalignment, possibly stemming from worn suspension bushes, a bent steering rack, or a shifted subframe mount. The parking brake cable and rear brake linkage require checking for correct adjustment and free movement, as the previous failure stemmed from excessive lever travel. The tyre itself sits at 3mm centre tread, leaving limited remaining life before the legal 1.6mm limit, and the edge wear pattern means the outer shoulder may be wearing faster than the centre, further reducing safe tread depth.
