2020 Nissan Leaf Electricity · YC20 YLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 54,089 miles passed with minor advisories for a wiper blade and a tyre cut, the overall trend shows a history of neglecting items until they reach failure. The failure in March 2025 due to bald tyres and distorted wheels indicates that the owner frequently waited for the MOT deadline rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a gap of 11,534 miles between the April 2024 test and the March 2025 test, and another 10,222 miles covered between the April 2025 de-test re-test and the March 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the car has been used for regular commuting, which explains the gradual wear on the braking system and tyres noted throughout the record. A buyer must focus inspection on the wheels and suspension assembly, as the tester has repeatedly flagged distorted road wheels since 2023. The progression from a slightly distorted nearside rear wheel in 2023 to a badly distorted nearside front wheel in 2025 suggests potential impact damage or misalignment that could have affected wheel bearings or suspension bushings. Additionally, the front brake discs have been flagged as worn or pitted across three consecutive years in 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and requires close monitoring.
