Our Verdict
This 2016 Nissan Leaf presents a mixed M
When inspecting this 2016 Nissan Leaf, verify that the suspension components noted in previous failures—specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension arms—were replaced with quality parts. Check the physical condition of the rear sub-frame to assess the severity of the corrosion recorded during the March 2026 test. Additionally, request a formal battery health check (State of Health / SOH bars) as MOT records do not document electric traction battery degradation.
As a pure electric vehicle, running costs benefit from zero VED (road tax) and exemption from fuel duty, though electricity tariffs will dictate home charging expenses. Insurance grouping for the Leaf is typically moderate, sitting around groups 18 to 21 depending on spec. Maintenance is generally lower than ICE equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though consumable items like tyres (size 215/50R17) and suspension components will require periodic replacement.
Pay close attention to the rear sub-frame, which was noted as corroded during the March 2026 MOT. Inspect the front suspension assembly—including anti-roll bar linkages, lower suspension arms, and track rod ends—following past failures in 2024 and 2025. Finally, check all seatbelts (particularly the central rear seatbelt which failed in 2024) and inspect the condition of all four tyres for cuts or uneven wear.
First registered in September 2016, this grey electric hatchback has covered 63,617 miles by March 2026. The MOT record shows a mix of clean passes and notable previous failures involving suspension wear, tyre damage, and seatbelt functionality. While recent tests show rectifications, lingering corrosion on the rear sub-frame requires attention.
The Nissan Leaf generally demonstrates a robust mechanical record with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.1%, though suspension arms and tyres remain among the most common failure points across the model range.
