2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · GU22 DVO

This 2022 Nissan Leaf has passed its most recent MOT test on 8 March 2025 with no defects recorded at 9,116 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status at that point. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, emissions, and structural integrity without incident. However, the test’s proximity to the current date—just over 16 months ago—means some components may now require renewed scrutiny, particularly those prone to gradual wear such as brake pads, suspension bushes, and high-voltage battery health, which are not routinely covered by the MOT. The recorded mileage of 9,116 miles over approximately four years implies exceptionally light usage, averaging around 2,279 miles annually. This low mileage could indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, which may have allowed for minor corrosion or degradation in areas like wheel bearings, suspension seals, or underbody panels. Conversely, it reduces the likelihood of severe wear on high-mileage components such as exhaust systems or drivetrain elements. The sparse MOT history—only a single pass without failings—does not provide a broader trend, but the lack of repeated testing makes it difficult to assess long-term maintenance habits. Given the limited MOT data, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the high-voltage battery system, which is critical for EV operation and not tested under standard MOT procedures. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes or deteriorated coil springs, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, though the MOT’s clean record suggests no immediate failure. Finally, a thorough underbody inspection is warranted to verify the absence of corrosion on structural components or wheel arches, given the low mileage but potential for prolonged exposure to moisture.
