2018 Nissan Leaf Electric · SV18 AFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical history over the last three years. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 83,630 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 83,534 miles. While the record shows no specific faults for that failure, it suggests a minor reactive repair, such as a blown bulb or minor adjustment, which was rectified immediately. Beyond this singular anomaly, the car has maintained a consistent pass record without recorded advisories, indicating a reliable maintenance trend. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,454 miles per annum. Between April 2023 at 42,134 miles and April 2024 at 55,583 miles, the car covered 13,449 miles, showing slightly higher annual use. The subsequent interval between April 2024 and April 2025 saw a similar distance of 13,726 miles covered. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which is often beneficial for electric vehicle components like brake seals and battery thermal-management systems. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, suspension wear, or brake binding issues, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items associated with 83,000 miles. Check the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often begin to degrade at this mileage. Given the consistent use, verify the tyre tread for uneven wear and inspect the brake fluid condition and any signs of leakage around the calipers. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the previous owners were proactive, but the buyer should still verify the condition of the high-voltage cooling hoses and any underbody impact damage not captured by the standard MOT inspection.
