Used Nissan Leaf for sale

All Nissan Leafs come with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring as standard. Most models also include rear cross traffic alert, six airbags and ISOFIX child seat points. Top trims, like the Tekna, add extra systems such as semi-autonomous ProPilot driving and a 360-degree camera, so you can manoeuvre and park with confidence.

The Nissan Leaf is fully electric – there’s no petrol or diesel version. Early Leafs (pre-2018) use 24kWh or 30kWh batteries, later models offer a 40kWh pack (up to 168 miles real-world range) or a 62kWh e+ pack (up to about 217 miles, depending on conditions). From 2022, only the 39kWh model is available new, but the e+ comes up on the used market often.

Most Leafs are well equipped: even early models have a rear-view camera, touchscreen, and Bluetooth. Modern versions offer an 8-inch infotainment system with navigation, DAB radio and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Higher trims add a Bose sound system, heated seats and advanced cameras for easy parking.

The Leaf doesn’t use petrol or diesel – just electricity. Expect 3–3.7 miles per kWh depending on speed and weather. In practical terms, that’s roughly 128–217 miles per charge depending on battery size and model. Charging is cheapest overnight at home, and road tax is currently zero for all Leafs.

Check the car’s battery health report (available from dealers or via the car’s menu) to ensure it still holds charge well, as older batteries can lose some capacity. Look for a full Nissan service history and inspect tyres and brakes, as the Leaf’s instant torque can wear these quicker. For peace of mind, consider a service from the AA Vehicle Inspection before you buy.

The Leaf has a proven record for mechanical reliability. While Nissan’s overall brand ratings aren’t top of the tree, the Leaf itself is consistently one of the better electric cars for durability – battery issues are rare and the main electric parts are covered for up to eight years. Owners rate it highly for simple, stress-free motoring.
