2011 Nissan Leaf Electricity · FX11 TMZ

The most recent MOT from April 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted deteriorating registration plates and a cracking or perishing nearside front tyre. There is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre degradation throughout the vehicle's history. The records show the nearside rear tyre was cracking in 2021 and subsequently failed in 2022 due to a structural tear and perishing. The most recent entry shows this issue has now shifted to the nearside front tyre. The overall condition trend appears stable, though the repeated tyre issues suggest that rubber components are being left to perish rather than being replaced proactively. A significant failure in 2022 also required the replacement of the nearside front track rod end and the nearside rear brake pads, though these specific mechanical faults have not reappeared in recent tests. The recorded mileage of 94,847 is typical for a 15-year-old car. While this suggests average use, the evidence of perishing tyres can often be a signal that the vehicle has spent periods of time standing still. When inspecting the car, you should first check the condition and age of all four tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing. You should also verify that the registration plates are clear and legible to avoid a future MOT failure.
