That does look like a bargain, what does SWMBO fancy next? Keeping her leaf yourself does make sense I guess.

You could probably literally never spend a pound on that maintenance wise and it'll still be going just as it is in 3 years time.

Charged on an overnight tariff if you have access to one and it's basically free motoring.

Being a pre 2017 model you won't get hit with higher road tax either (we'll, possibly £20)

I'd be surprised if that didn't get snapped up quite quickly.

Yes, although a lot of the really cheap ones are pre-2014 model which have the older battery and often are seriously degraded.

The sweet spot is the 2014-2017 24Kwh which seem to be standing up well.

There are some bargain 30Kwh ones out there with a lower number of bars which might just need the software update from Nissan or might not......regardless they are a gamble.

Probably best to get the last of the 2017 lot before the VED changed in march of that year to take full advantage of the £0 band and the best chance at battery life.

Given how low some relatively new EVs have been on sale locally to me - especially those with relatively small battery packs to start with (e.g. the Mazda MX-30 [non-range extender version]), these Leafs must be going for peanuts in comparison.

By comparison, I've seen similar sized / performing (speed / acceleration, not range) pure ICE cars going for near £10k if in good nick, with autos adding another 10%+. Silly prices (at 50-60%+ of the original new RRP for a 7-8yo car), but understandable, given supply & demand.
