Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this Leaf, prioritise checking the battery's state of health (SOH) via the dashboard or a diagnostic tool, as this is the most critical factor for any used electric vehicle. Ensure you review the service history for any software updates or battery cooling system maintenance.
Given that this vehicle has covered more miles than the typical Leaf of this age, pay close attention to the condition of the interior upholstery and steering wheel for signs of wear. Negotiate based on the higher-than-average mileage compared to similar 2021 models.
As an electric vehicle, this Leaf offers significant savings on fuel compared to petrol or diesel equivalents, with costs varying based on whether you use a home charger or public charging networks. It currently benefits from low or zero VED (road tax) and typically sits in a moderate insurance group.
Typical maintenance costs for the Leaf are generally lower than internal combustion engines due to fewer moving parts. You should budget for periodic tyre replacements and cabin filter changes, with an estimated annual running cost reflecting these efficiencies.
Focus specifically on the tyres, as the MOT history shows advisories for a damaged nearside rear tyre in 2024 and a worn offside front tyre in 2023; verify that these have been replaced with quality rubber.
Based on aggregate data from over 51,000 vehicles, you should also inspect the suspension arms for any signs of wear or play and check that the seat belt buckles operate smoothly, as these are identified as common failure points for this model.
This black 2021 Nissan Leaf has a consistent record of MOT passes across three tests. While the recorded mileage of 31,183 miles by January 2024 is above the model's average annual figure of 6,329 miles, the vehicle has avoided any major MOT failures.
The Nissan Leaf maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.3%, with tyre issues being one of the most frequent failure reasons.
