Vehicle details

Registration: NA18KOJ

Date of registration: 06/08/2018

Mileage: 27,797 (this may increase slightly)

Colour: Gun metallic

Range

The range of a vehicle is dictated by the battery capacity, driving style and temperature. Just like a petrol or diesel vehicle, range is reduced is you drive fast or uneconomically. For further details, see Range Explained.

The official range using the more accurate WLTP test cycle is 168 miles and 217 miles on the NEDC test. If you drive economically in the summer, 160 is achievable for most drivers. Driving at an average of 4.5mpkWh will give you 162 miles range. It is possible to drive more economically than that. In the winter temperatures, the range will drop by around 20%. Driving at an average of 3.0mpkWh, you'd get 108 miles.

Charging

The Leaf has two charging ports at the front. A 50kW DC Chademo port for public DC rapid chargers and a type2 6.6kW AC port for all other charging on AC power.

When using a public 50kW DC rapid charger, you can charge the battery from 20-80% in 60 minutes. Public rapid chargers are found in motorway service stations, petrol stations, IKEA, Lidl stores and some roadside locations.

When using a 7kW AC charger, you can charge the battery from 0-100% in around 7 hours or add around 21 miles per hour. You'll find AC chargers in car parks, roadside locations, shopping centres and of course all at home or work if you have wall chargers installed.

You can also charge from a standard 240V mains socket using a portable charger cable (often called a granny cable). These charge at 2.3kW/10A and add about 7 miles per hour of charging.

Charge times are approx:

• 1 hour from 20-80% on a 50kW DC rapid charger

• 7 hours from 0-100% on a 7kW AC charger

• 18.5 hours to 0-100% on a 2.3kW portable charger

This car comes with a both a type2 AC charge cable and a portable charger (granny cable).

Battery

40kWh lithium-ion battery, with approximately 36kWh usable by the driver. Battery is owned and is covered by a 8 year/100,000 mile warranty from new.

The current battery state of health (tested 25/02/2021) is 91.27%. Battery SOH does fluctuate and can go up as well as down. I would expect to see the SOH rise slightly once this car is back into daily use. The car has only received one DC rapid charge too.

Condition

The car is in good condition, with only some minor stone chips and marks to the paintwork. Everything works without any fault. Watch the video above for a detailed review of the condition.

The tyre treat depths: Front 7.6mm/7.6mm, rear 6.0mm/4.7mm.New tyres typically are 6.5-7.5mm tread depth. The legal limit is 1.6mm.

MoT

The first MoT isn't due until 05/08/2021.

Service history

A service history print out from both Nissan and the lease company is included, which shows two services have been done with the last service completed on 23/07/2019 at 26,574 miles. The service book has not been stamped. The car has also had a thorough inspection here at GGA.
