The Nissan Leaf is the UK's best-selling electric vehicle. Battery degradation is the key concern — always check battery health report and remaining capacity before buying.
Qashqai most searched Nissan in the UK. CVT gearbox issues on some models. Juke turbo wear on high-mileage examples. Leaf battery degradation — always verify remaining capacity. Navara known for chassis cracking issues on older models. Commercial use common — verify maintenance records.
See the full Nissan Leaf report — £5.97 →A car's first MOT falls due three years after it was first registered, then every 12 months. These are the years that means for each Nissan Leaf generation. Online MOT records run from 2005, so a car built before that shows its tests from 2005 onwards.
Test counts assume the car has been tested on time every year since its first MOT — a car tested late shows fewer. The exact number sits on that car's own record.
MOT records are written by the testing garage and submitted to the DVSA — they cannot be edited or removed by a seller.
Every test since 2005, including retests, the date each test was carried out and the test station that recorded it.
The odometer reading recorded by the tester — the quickest way to spot clocking or a suspicious gap in the mileage record.
Parts worn but not yet at failure level. The same advisory repeated year after year shows maintenance being deferred.
The exact items a car failed on, so you can ask the seller what was repaired and check the invoice for it.
Enter the registration above. The free check shows the current MOT status and expiry date straight from DVSA, and a £5.97 full report adds every test since 2005 with the result, the mileage recorded at each test and all advisory notes.
Pass rates vary widely with age, mileage and servicing, so a single model figure is misleading. What matters when you are buying one car is that car's own record: enter the registration and the free check shows the current MOT status and test history straight from DVSA.
There is no single failure that defines the Nissan Leaf — MOT results track age, mileage and how well the car has been serviced. Leaf battery: capacity loss is normal but significant degradation (below 70% capacity) reduces range substantially. Use Nissan's LeafSpy app or equivalent to check battery health before purchase. Read the advisories on the exact car you are buying: an item flagged at one MOT and never addressed almost always fails at the next test.
The first MOT is due three years after the vehicle was first registered, then every 12 months. A Nissan Leaf under three years old will not have an MOT record yet, though its tax status and specification are still available on the free check.
Yes. Every MOT test records the odometer reading, and we compare each reading with the previous test to flag drops or unusually large gaps between tests — one of the commonest signs of clocking.
