2014 Nissan Leaf Electric · WN64 PZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of suspension wear and deferred attention. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 90,259 miles, the car passed after addressing a failure regarding the offside windscreen wiper. However, the tester again flagged both front inner suspension arm pins or bushes as worn and advised a park brake travel adjustment. This indicates that while the vehicle is operational, the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life and will require proactive replacement soon. At 90,259 miles, this twelve-year-old Nissan Leaf reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,300 miles covered in the year between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,700 miles in the following year. This stable mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid chemistry despite low odometer readings. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows multiple failures and advisories between 2023 and 2025 involving ball joints, arm bushes, and linkages. The recurring issue of tyres worn on the edges in both 2023 and 2024 suggests potential alignment problems or worn shock absorbers that were not fully rectified. Additionally, the park brake should be tested for effectiveness, as the September 2025 advisory regarding excessive travel suggests the mechanism is beginning to pull or reach the limit of its adjustment range.
