2021 Nissan Leaf Electric · KM21 LEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor concern. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 July 2025 at 37,622 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory requirements. While the car failed a test on 1 May 2024, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs immediately and has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep ever since. The mileage pattern is typical for a five-year-old electric vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable cluster of activity between May 2024 and August 2024, where the car covered 1,592 miles in just three months, followed by a more relaxed interval of 9,578 miles over the following year leading to the July 2025 test. This relatively low annual mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on components like the electric motor, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record does not list the specific reasons of failure for the May 2024 test, a buyer must verify what was rectified during that visit. Focus the physical inspection on checking for signs of brake corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles can sometimes sit stationary for extended periods. Given the age of the vehicle, examine the condition of the rubber suspension components and the structural integrity of the chassis for rust to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental degradation or age-related wear.
