2020 Nissan Leaf Electricity · LM70 EFH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 154,000 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The February 2026 failure revealed critical issues including a worn offside front suspension ball joint, a damaged gearbox mount, and misaligned headlamps. Although these were addressed to secure the March pass, the presence of thin rear brake pads suggests the owner only replaces components once they reach an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 25,000 miles per annum. The data shows rapid accumulation of use; between March 2025 and September 2025, the car covered 17,344 miles in just six months. More impressively, between the September 2025 test and February 2026 test, it logged an additional 15,716 miles. This high-frequency usage places immense strain on the electric drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system, explaining the accelerated wear on the ball joints and tyres. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and engine mounts to ensure the repairs made in February 2026 were executed correctly. Given the gearbox mount failure, check for any residual vibrations or clunking during a test drive. The rear brakes require immediate attention as they were flagged as thin in the most recent test. Because of the extreme mileage, verifying the state of the battery cooling system and the integrity of the wheel arms is vital, as these components are nearing the end of their typical service life.
