2014 Nissan Leaf Electric · GV64 AXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of reactive tyre replacement. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 39,136 miles passed, the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and a deteriorated registration plate. This follows a trend of tyre-related failures seen in previous years, suggesting the owner only addresses these faults once they fail an inspection rather than performing preventative replacements. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 39,136 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,261 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has seen minimal mechanical strain on the drivetrain and braking system. However, the gap between March 2023 and March 2024 shows only 3,007 miles of travel, indicating consistent periods of short-term use. Such low mileage on electric vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs due to extended inactivity, despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the history shows multiple structural failures and low tread depths, specifically the 2024 failure involving a tear in the offside rear tyre. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, check for pitting or rust on the brake discs which often occurs when cars are driven infrequently. The suspension bushes and bushings should be examined for cracking or dry rot, as rubber-based components age over a decade regardless of the number of miles driven.
