2013 Nissan Leaf Electricity · YM63 MEV

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-13 recorded three tyres with slight damage or perishing, all on the rear and nearside front positions. This mirrors earlier findings from 2025-04-02 and 2024-04-16, where rear tyres showed similar issues. While the 2024-04-12 failed MOT highlighted more severe suspension faults, including excessive play in the track rod end and worn bushings, these were addressed by the 2026 test. However, the recurring tyre damage suggests ongoing wear or potential alignment issues that may require investigation. The vehicle’s condition shows a mixed trend. Suspension components like the track rod end and bushings were critical failures in 2024, but no such issues appeared in the 2026 MOT. This implies repairs were likely made, though the persistence of tyre wear raises concerns about underlying mechanical stress. Brake pad wear was noted in 2024 and 2026, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage but should be verified for urgency. Overall, the trend appears stable since the 2024 failure, assuming repairs were completed. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,832 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 8,756 miles annually, which is average for its age.
