Our Verdict

Highly recommended. This silver Nissan Leaf presents as an exceptionally well-maintained example with a remarkably clean MOT record and reasonable mileage for its age.

When purchasing this specific Leaf, your primary focus should be on the battery health (SOH - State of Health). Since the MOT history is clean, verify the service records to ensure the 12V auxiliary battery has been maintained, as a failing 12V battery can often cause confusing electronic faults in this model.

Negotiate based on the remaining battery warranty and check if the home charging equipment is included in the sale. Because this car has a flawless MOT record, you should expect to pay a fair market price, as there are no obvious mechanical red flags to use as leverage for a discount.

As a fully electric vehicle, this Leaf offers significant savings over petrol or diesel equivalents. You will benefit from zero road tax (VED) and lower fuel costs per mile, depending on whether you charge via a home tariff or public infrastructure.

Maintenance costs are typically lower due to the lack of oil changes, spark plugs, or exhaust systems. Insurance groups for the Leaf are generally mid-range, making it an affordable choice for daily commuting. The estimated annual cost is kept low by the absence of traditional engine wear and tear.

While the MOT history shows no defects up to 46,065 miles, you should still inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues. Check the charging port for any signs of debris or damage to the pins to ensure a reliable connection.

Pay close attention to the interior condition of the silver exterior's matching trim and the condition of the cabin filters. Since there have been no MOT failures recorded, a physical inspection should focus on the 'invisible' electrics, such as the efficiency of the climate control and the responsiveness of the infotainment system.

This 2018 Nissan Leaf has covered 46,065 miles since its first registration in April 2018. The vehicle's MOT history is exemplary, showing a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects over the last four years. Given the lack of advisory notices or major failures, it appears to have been cared for meticulously.

The Nissan Leaf is generally regarded as a pioneering EV with a strong reputation for drivetrain reliability, though specific aggregate data for this year is not provided here.
