2014 Nissan Leaf Electric · LD64 HXM

This 2014 Nissan Leaf demonstrates a stable and generally clean roadworthiness trend, culminating in a pass on September 10, 2025 at 68,681 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle shows a strong pattern of rectifying previous issues promptly. Previous failures and advisories center strictly on consumable rubber rather than structural corrosion or mechanical degradation, indicating that the core electric drivetrain and chassis components have avoided severe systemic neglect. The vehicle has covered 68,681 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,700 miles annually. This low mileage accumulation reflects light domestic use. Inspection of the test dates reveals a transition in early 2024 from annual March testing to an accelerated autumn testing schedule, with mileage jumping by roughly 4,784 miles between March and October 2024, followed by another 4,878 miles accrued by September 2025. This uptick indicates the car transitioned from light periodic use to more frequent daily commuting without appearing to suffer mechanical strain. Previous MOT tests highlight a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance. The March 2023 test resulted in a failure when three tyres fell below the legal 1.6 millimetre tread depth limit, mirroring earlier edge-wear advisories issued in March 2020. This history suggests previous owners delayed replacing consumable items until forced by a test failure. Prospective buyers should thoroughly check the tread depth, sidewall condition, and manufacturing dates of all four fitted tyres during an in-person viewing. Beyond the rubber, the absence of brake corrosion or suspension advisories across multiple consecutive years points to a healthy chassis, which is typical for low-mileage electric vehicles that benefit from regenerative braking reducing friction wear. Buyers must still physically inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion caused by light use and verify the health of the high-voltage battery management system. Overall, the MOT data presents a reassuring picture of a mechanically sound EV that requires standard consumable upkeep.
