2018 Nissan Leaf Electricity · WM18 KZB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglect regarding basic consumables. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 37,730 miles passed, it carried an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors an advisory from the December 2024 test at 32,859 miles, indicating that the owner consistently delays tyre replacement until failure. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 37,730 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical strain on the electric drivetrain and suspension components, but the consistent intervals between tests—usually roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually—show the car is used for short trips rather than sitting. The failure in December 2023 at 28,789 miles due to an ineffective wiper blade was a minor safety issue that was rectified immediately for the subsequent re-test. A buyer should physically inspect the wheel alignment and geometry, as the recurring edge wear on the nearside rear and offside front tyres suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs on vehicles that sit for long periods. The structural integrity appears sound based on the record, but the pattern of tyre neglect suggests that the owner prioritizes reactive rather than proactive maintenance.
