2014 Nissan Leaf Electric · NG14 MDO

Based on the supplied DVSA MOT records, this 2014 Nissan Leaf presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile heading into 2026. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 57,833 miles passed cleanly with zero defects, advisories, or failures. That clean sheet follows a similarly unblemished pass on 13 November 2024 at 57,143 miles. The only blemish in the five-year window was a failed test on 30 November 2023 at 54,146 miles, yet the record shows no defects were flagged for that failure, suggesting an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle then passed its very next test on 8 December 2023 at the identical mileage of 54,146 miles, again with no defects. The trend is clearly stable and, more recently, consistently clean. The mileage accumulation tells a story of very light use. Across roughly twelve years, the odometer has reached just 57,833 miles, averaging approximately 4,819 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 57,143 miles and the November 2025 test at 57,833 miles, only 690 miles were added in a full twelve-month span. The earlier interval from 28 November 2022 at 51,434 miles to the failed test on 30 November 2023 at 54,146 miles shows a more typical 2,712-mile annual gain, but even that remains modest. The near-identical readings between the November 2023 and December 2023 tests confirm the vehicle was stationary for that two-week window. Such low annual accumulation raises the possibility of extended periods standing still, which can affect tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and battery health in an electric vehicle. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not deeply interrogate. The Leaf's battery state of health is critical and will not appear on any MOT record; a diagnostic readout of cell balance and capacity degradation is essential. Tyre condition deserves close scrutiny given the low mileage and potential for aged rubber, even if tread depth remains legal. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be inspected for perishing from age rather than wear, as prolonged standing can cause rubber components to dry and crack. Brake discs and pads may show surface corrosion from short trips and long idle periods, even though no braking defects were flagged. Finally, check the underside and sill areas for any early signs of structural corrosion, particularly around mounting points and battery casing seams, as these are long-term integrity concerns on older electric vehicles that have not been subjected to high-mileage thermal cycling.
