2021 Nissan Leaf Electricity · NH21 DTZ

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in August 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the single failure recorded at 15,732 miles was immediately rectified. The tester identified a nearside front outer tyre with exposed ply cords, but the subsequent re-test at 15,763 miles indicates that the owner was responsive to safety-critical defects once flagged during the MOT. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,150 miles per annum. This low usage suggests the car was used primarily for short trips or remained stationary, which reduces wear on the electric drivetrain and suspension components. While low mileage generally preserves the integrity of the engine and motor, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or minor corrosion on exposed braking surfaces. The record shows a clean history with no recurring mechanical issues or structural failures reported over the vehicle's life. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for signs of flat spotting or sidewall cracking which often occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the rotors from being wiped clean. The suspension bushes and control arms should be examined to ensure the rubber has not perished from age despite the low physical mileage recorded.
