2021 Nissan Leaf Electricity · UA03 DAD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its successful test in February 2026, yet the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passed the latest inspection, the volume of advisories in the most recent record indicates a decline in attention to consumables. The transition from a single worn tyre in 2025 to multiple tyre defects and brake component wear suggests the owner is only addressing faults as they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 28,176 miles and the February 2026 test at 37,143 miles, the car covered nearly 9,000 miles. This rate of use suggests regular short trips, which explains the degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces, but it does not indicate the mechanical strain often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the February 2026 test flagged pitting and scoring on both inner brake discs. These surface conditions indicate corrosion or lack of use, which can eventually lead to poor braking performance if not replaced. The perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, alongside the nail in the nearside front, signify that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite the relatively low mileage. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure that the noted neglect has not caused uneven wear or hidden damage.
