Description
One of the oldest Nissan Leaf MK2 on the market. Still fully functional with caveats.
Usable battery capacity is around 18 kWh (30-31kwh full/12kwh time to charge/10kwh out of charge), due to some worn out cells. See below pictures from LeafSpy who is familiar. First picture is at around 120k miles just before I replaced 2 modules at garage (8 cells) due to the fault on next 2 pictures. There are still quite a few cells which would need saving to call it a 81% state of health battery.
Ever since I had it can do about 4-4.5 miles/kwh in during warm weather and 3.5 miles/kwh during winter. Please see last two pictures which are most recent LeafSpy data, first with car standing (about 31 mV between highest and lowest cell) and then pushing about half the car power up the hill (few cells going much faster to the bottom capacity than others).
If current millage of 55-75 miles is enough, I would recommend at least home/work charging available. Replacing modules almost 3 years ago was about 400 pounds per module and 600 pounds for work, perhaps could be lower now. But to get decent range again I would expect investing about 1500-3000 pounds on top of the car.
Overall I am 3rd owner who bought the car at 109k miles and managed to live with the car without home charger (work one always available). Got to Scotland and back with multiple breaks, but without an issue. If you want a car for daily shorter commute/shopping, it is ideal due to its efficiency won't cost a fortune.
One bigger scratch on front bumper (plastic, see photo), otherwise decent condition. Bigger repairs on recent MOT, new front lower arms, new brake disks/pads. Issue with one of the TPMS sensor, so once in a while one sensor needs to be programmed into car monitoring unit, which can be done during MOT as long as you check tyre pressure regularly.
