2012 Nissan Leaf Electricity · VE62 LKC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by four consecutive passes recorded between April 2022 and March 2026. The most recent inspection on March 10, 2026, at 31,702 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories noted. This indicates that the vehicle met the required safety and environmental standards at the point of testing, though it does not provide insight into the condition of internal components or the battery health typical of this specific model. The recorded mileage of 31,702 miles over a fourteen-year period averages approximately 2,264 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The MOT data shows consistent testing intervals, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity that can lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The lack of recorded advisories across the last four tests is a notable observation, though it remains limited to the scope of the statutory inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components not fully assessed during an MOT, specifically the high-voltage battery state of health and the condition of the suspension bushings. Given the vehicle's age, rubber components such as wishbone bushes and anti-roll bar links may have degraded due to time rather than mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding brakes due to infrequent use. Verify the structural integrity of the underside, as the MOT test checks for excessive corrosion but does not account for minor surface oxidation that may require preventative treatment. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
