2018 Nissan Leaf Electric · LD18 GEK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent pass in April 2026 at 47,254 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest inspection indicates a shift from mechanical defects to consumable wear neglect. The most recent test flagged both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, suggesting a recent lapse in basic tyre upkeep despite the vehicle passing the overall mechanical check. At approximately eight years of age, the recorded 47,254 miles represent an annual average of roughly 6,000 miles, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows consistent usage over time, with approximately 5,200 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026, and another 5,900 miles in the preceding year. This low-frequency pattern suggests light urban commuting, which generally preserves the drivetrain but can increase the risk of rubber components and brake hardware degrading due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft joint, which was noted as worn in April 2022 at 24,556 miles. While the tester did not find it excessive at that time, the component should be checked for boot tears or grease leakage to ensure it has not progressed. The recurring issues with defective wiper blades in 2023 and 2025 indicate a history of only addressing minor items when they fail an inspection. Given the edge wear noted on the tyres in 2026, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure that the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
