2013 Nissan Leaf Electricity · HX63 CYV

This 2013 Nissan Leaf has covered approximately 8,042 miles per year, which is a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. While the mileage is not excessive, the recent MOT history reveals a clear pattern of deteriorating suspension and structural integrity that a prospective buyer must take seriously. The most concerning aspect of the vehicle's history is the structural corrosion noted in early 2024. The failure regarding the nearside rear sill indicates that the vehicle has been exposed to conditions that have compromised its structural strength. While this was addressed to achieve a pass, corrosion of this nature often suggests that the underlying metal has been weakened, and it is vital to determine the quality of any repairs performed to rectify this failure. There is a persistent and worsening trend regarding the front suspension components. The track rod end dust covers have been flagged as damaged or deteriorated for two consecutive years. This indicates that the rubber seals are failing, which allows grit and moisture to enter the joints, leading to accelerated wear. Because this issue has appeared on both the nearside and offside, it suggests that the entire front steering and suspension assembly is likely nearing the end of its service life. The vehicle’s condition appears to be in a state of managed decline.
