Nissan LEAF (2011-2017)
Nissan LEAF Visia 24kWh
The Nissan LEAF Visia 24kWh shows strong efficiency in this comparison. Its motorway range of around 76 miles is below most rivals in the figures shown here, making journey length and charging access useful considerations.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 65% of its battery health, roughly 93 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Excellent value for money as a used purchase, with strong reliability over time and minimal maintenance needs beyond tires and wipers. Battery degradation is a significant concern on early models, with some owners losing multiple capacity bars within months or years; air-cooled batteries lack thermal management.

What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Excellent value for money as a used purchase, with strong reliability over time and minimal maintenance needs beyond tires and wipers
- Very cheap to run with low electricity costs (1-2.5p per mile on off-peak tariffs) and zero vehicle excise duty, recovering purchase price through fuel savings in 3-4 years
- Smooth, quiet, and refined driving experience with instant torque providing surprisingly responsive acceleration from standstill
Watch Out For
- Battery degradation is a significant concern on early models, with some owners losing multiple capacity bars within months or years; air-cooled batteries lack thermal management
- Limited real-world range of 50-120 miles makes the Leaf unsuitable as a sole vehicle for longer journeys, requiring careful trip planning and multiple charging stops
- Winter range significantly reduced by 20-30% due to heating demands and cold battery chemistry, sometimes dropping below 70 miles
Owner Tips
- Always check actual battery state of health (SOH) using LeafSpy OBD2 diagnostic tool before purchase rather than relying on dashboard bar display or dealer assessments, which can be misleading
- Target 2013+ generation models with mechanical foot brakes, heat pumps, and 6.6kW chargers; prioritize 30kWh batteries over 24kWh for better warranty (8 years vs 5 years) and realistic range
- Only purchase a Leaf if you have reliable home charging access and daily driving needs under 60 miles; consider as a second household vehicle rather than primary transport for longer journeys

Estimates based on battery chemistry and age. Model-specific data. Actual health varies with charging habits, climate, and usage.
Detailed degradation forecast
After 3 years, the Nissan LEAF Visia 24kWh is estimated to retain around 86.1% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 86 miles in summer and 64 miles in winter. After 5 years, the Nissan LEAF Visia 24kWh is estimated to retain around 77.7% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 78 miles in summer and 58 miles in winter. After 8 years, the Nissan LEAF Visia 24kWh is estimated to retain around 65.1% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 65 miles in summer and 48 miles in winter. The battery is covered by a 8-year warranty or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. This car uses a Lithium Manganese Oxide / Nickel Manganese Cobalt Blend (LMO_NMC) battery.
