2016 Nissan Leaf Electric · RO16 BFY

The overall roadworthiness status from the most recent MOT on 25 March 2022 at 66,677 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 21 March 2019 through 17 March 2021, with the single irregularity of a failure logged on 26 March 2020 at 50,044 miles that listed no defects and was superseded by a clean pass the following day. This sequence suggests the underlying mechanical condition stayed consistent, though the evidence is now over four years old relative to today's date of 16 July 2026. The mileage climbed from 37,125 at the March 2019 test to 50,044 by March 2020, then 55,288 by March 2021, reaching 66,677 by March 2022. That progression reflects about 6,600 to 11,000 miles per annum, broadly typical for a ten-year-old supermini. The critical observation is the matching 66,677 miles in the current listing, proving the Nissan has covered zero recorded distance in the four years since its last test. Prolonged stationary storage of this length masks wear that MOT advisories would normally capture. With no advisories raised on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion throughout the record, prior keepers appear to have presented the car in test-ready condition. The anomalous same-mileage fail without defects indicates a clerical or procedural event rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer must still inspect for inactivity damage: seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber, and subframe rust. The MOT does not assess HV battery isolation or 12V health, so those require specialist diagnostic before purchase.
