2019 Nissan Leaf Electricity · OY69 FKH

The 2019 Nissan Leaf presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 59,444 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. That is a notably strong result, especially given the vehicle is approaching seven years old. The record shows no recurring mechanical faults, no structural corrosion, and no emissions-related advisories, which is consistent with a well-maintained electric vehicle. The only defect in the entire history was a minor windscreen wiper failure on 25 October 2022 at 19,290 miles, which was rectified the same day. A single advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre on 24 October 2024 at 46,765 miles also points to routine consumable wear rather than a systemic problem. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. From the first recorded test on 25 October 2022 at 19,290 miles through to 13 November 2025 at 59,444 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 40,154 miles over just over three years, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year in that window. That is slightly above the overall lifetime average of around 8,492 miles per year, suggesting the car has seen more consistent recent use after a quieter early life. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden jumps that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged standing. From a mechanical perspective, the Leaf's electric drivetrain means there are no exhaust, clutch, or traditional engine wear items to scrutinise. Buyers should still inspect the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery, the high-voltage battery state of health via a dealership or specialist diagnostic tool, and the condition of the charging port and cable. The advisory for a perishing rear tyre in 2024 warrants a close check of all four tyres for uneven tread wear, sidewall damage, and correct inflation, particularly if the vehicle has spent time standing. Suspension components, including front and rear shock absorbers, drop links, and bushes, should be inspected for wear given the car's age and the additional weight of the battery pack. Brake condition deserves attention too. Although no binding calipers or worn discs have been flagged, the regenerative braking system in the Leaf can mask mechanical brake wear, meaning the friction components may corrode from underuse. A test drive should confirm smooth, firm braking without pulling or grinding. The cleanest MOT in November 2025 is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with electric vehicles remains the sensible course before committing.
