Description
2012 Nissan Leaf 24kWh - Range Tested at 54 Miles - 12 Months MOT - Automatic
Looking for an affordable electric car for local commuting, school runs, shopping or everyday short journeys? This Nissan Leaf offers quiet, smooth and easy-to-drive electric motoring without the fuel costs, engine noise or gear changes associated with a conventional petrol or diesel car.
We fully charge and range-test our electric vehicles rather than relying only on the dashboard estimate.
This Leaf was charged to 100% using a home charger and driven from full charge to turtle mode, which indicates the battery was close to empty. It achieved 54 miles during our test.
The test included normal London driving including A-roads, side roads, stop-start traffic traffic and speeds of up to approximately 40 mph. The test was completed in warm weather without heating or air-conditioning in normal driving mode, not in Eco mode.
For normal everyday use, buyers should realistically allow approximately 35-40 miles from a full charge, depending on temperature, speed, driving style, hills and use of heating or air-conditioning. More may be possible in favorable conditions, as demonstrated by our test

Condition
The interior is very clean and tidy for its age and has clearly been well cared for. The original Nissan Leaf floor mats are included.
The black bodywork is in very good overall condition for a 2012 vehicle, with only minor age-related marks and blemishes. The alloy wheels have some marks consistent with the vehicle's age.
The car presents extremely well, drives smoothly and has a fresh 12-month MOT.
This is an ideal vehicle for someone with access to home charging who mainly completes local journeys. Charging at home on an off-peak electricity tariff can make the running costs exceptionally low.
