Nissan Leaf buying guide (Ireland, 2026)

What a used Nissan Leaf costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 179 for sale right now.

Our take on the Nissan Leaf

A 2023 Nissan Leaf typically advertises at €16,350 and a 2018 one at €12,000, so it loses roughly 6% of its value a year at that age, slower than most cars. It's sold here mainly as a petrol. At the NCT, the 2021–2022 cars do better than other cars the same year.
