2020 Nissan Leaf Electricity · PK70 AWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 62,960 miles identified multiple defects related to the braking system and tyres that were absent in previous years. While the car passed, the transition from a clean record to a list of advisories suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach legal limits or failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical high-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage between the 2023 test at 4,688 miles and the 2024 test at 23,720 miles, covering nearly 19,000 miles in a year. The vehicle has since covered another 39,240 miles prior to the March 2026 inspection. This acceleration in mileage explains the rapid wear observed on the front components noted in the latest report. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking assembly, as the record shows pitted and scored discs appearing in both 2025 and 2026. The recurring nature of this fault suggests the discs have not been replaced alongside the pads, or the calipers are potentially binding. The edge wear noted on both front tyres in the latest test also points to a developing alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require investigation. You should also check the offside front tyre for structural cracking or perishing, as the tester specifically flagged this material degradation.
