2016 Nissan Leaf 1.6L Electric · J321 KNG

The 2016 Nissan Leaf presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 63,396 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date that listed no defects, indicating an administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in November 2024 at 56,687 miles and November 2023 at 48,617 miles also passed cleanly, the latter preceded by a same-day failure carrying no recorded defects. The vehicle shows no escalating wear or recurring advisory pattern across the four-year record. Annual mileage averages near 6,340 miles against a ten-year life, a typical figure for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 48,617 miles in November 2023, 56,687 miles by November 2024, and 63,396 miles by October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant gaps appear. The clean test sheets across this span suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake discs within limits, though the absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes or corroding structural points were not flagged for attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record logs no advisories yet offers no evidence these areas were closely examined beyond the standard check. The EV drivetrain removes engine emission concerns, but the 12-volt auxiliary battery and coolant circuits for the inverter warrant a health check given the car's low annual use. Given the same-day fail-pass pairs in both 2023 and 2025 carried zero defects, the history points to DVSA data entry or presentation anomalies rather than owner neglect. The Leaf's documented care pattern implies a cautious, low-mileage owner; verify the charging cable condition and tyre sidewall ageing before purchase.
