2022 Nissan Leaf Electric · ND72 HFT

The 2022 Nissan Leaf presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on the 24th of October 2025 at 21,530 miles, resulted in a clean pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This outcome indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that point, with no immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Accumulating just 21,530 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of around 5,382 miles, well below the typical UK average. The single recorded MOT entry at this mileage provides a limited historical window, but the clean pass suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a competent standard during its period of low usage. No gaps or rapid accumulation phases are evident in the supplied data. Despite the clean MOT, prospective buyers should approach a low-mileage electric vehicle with a specific inspection checklist. Extended periods of inactivity can lead to latent issues not always apparent during a stationary MOT test. A thorough test drive should focus on the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which can discharge if the vehicle sits unused, and the health of the main high-voltage traction battery, ideally verified with a proprietary diagnostic tool to check state of health and cell balance. Tyre condition demands close scrutiny; low mileage does not preclude perishing or sidewall damage from age, particularly if the car has been stationary for long periods. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for surface corrosion or binding, a common issue on lightly used vehicles where components do not get regular thermal cycling to keep them clean. Finally, inspect the suspension bushes and dampers for any signs of seizure or deterioration that can occur from infrequent use rather than high mileage wear.
