2017 Nissan Leaf Electricity · PL17 ABX

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 64,981 miles where no defects were recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of recurring minor failures. While the car struggled with specific consumable-related issues in the previous years, the most recent inspection indicates that the current owner has addressed outstanding faults to bring the vehicle up to standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2022 at 28,106 miles and February 2023 at 37,462 miles, covering nearly 10,000 miles in that year. Since then, usage has remained steady, with 27,519 miles logged between early 2023 and early 2026. This lower annual mileage profile often correlates with the corrosion-related issues seen in the braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system. The record shows a persistent issue of pitting and scoring on the inner faces of the front brake discs from February 2023 through January 2025. Because this vehicle is driven infrequently, the discs likely suffered from moisture-induced corrosion during periods of inactivity. Even though the 2026 test showed no defects, a physical inspection of the disc thickness and surface condition is necessary to confirm they have been replaced rather than merely cleared of surface rust. The previous failures regarding windscreen wiper blades and washer fluid in 2023 and 2024 suggest a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. An inspector should verify the operation of the wiper motor and washer pump to ensure these basic systems remain fully functional. Since no structural corrosion or suspension-related advisories appeared in the history, the primary focus remains on the condition of the rubber components and the overall health of the electric drivetrain consistent with low-mileage usage.
