2025 Nissan Ariya Evolve 1.3L Electric · PO10 ADB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the March 2026 test at 69,464 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical wear. While the most recent result was a pass, the tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear, alongside a worn offside front suspension arm bush. These advisories follow a failed test in March 2025 at 51,958 miles, where the vehicle failed on multiple thin brake pads and a worn tyre. This progression from simple consumable replacement to surface deterioration of the brake discs and suspension component degradation suggests that maintenance is becoming more reactive rather than preventative. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,893 miles per year. The record shows a rapid increase of 15,875 miles between the March 2024 test at 36,239 miles and the March 2025 test at 51,958 miles, followed by another 17,876 miles in the year leading up to the March 2026 test. This high-use pattern explains the accelerated wear on consumable items like tyres and brake pads. The consistent annual mileage suggests regular, heavy road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically leads to more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. The recurring issues with brake pads and the recent scoring on the rear discs indicate that the calipers or the discs themselves may require attention soon to prevent binding or reduced stopping efficiency. The worn offside front suspension arm bush noted in March 2026 will likely cause noise or imprecise handling if not addressed. Given the high mileage and the pattern of tyre wear, checking the wheel alignment and the condition of all suspension bushes and shock absorbers is essential to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound and handles correctly.
