The UK's most common used EV and one of the most battery-sensitive. No thermal management means degradation varies widely between examples. An Aviloo certificate tells you exactly what you are buying or selling.
Unlike the Kia e-Niro or Tesla, the Nissan Leaf uses passive air cooling rather than a liquid thermal management system. Battery temperature during charging and driving is not actively controlled. Two Leafs of the same age and mileage can have very different battery health depending on how and where they were used.
A Leaf frequently rapid-charged on motorway journeys in warm weather will have degraded significantly faster than one used for short urban trips on a home slow charger. The only way to know which one you are looking at is an independent cell-level test.
Typical ranges PAD sees on the Aviloo test. Individual examples vary significantly.
Faster than most EVs, yes. The Leaf has no active liquid thermal management so battery temperature during charging and driving is not controlled. Two Leafs of the same age can have very different battery health depending on charging habits and where they were stored.
85% or above is healthy. Below 80% you will notice real daily range impact and the Leaf dashboard capacity bars will have dropped. Aviloo flags anything below 80% as a Red Flag result.
LeafSpy reads BMS self-reported data and is useful for monitoring your own Leaf. It is not independent and cannot produce a certified result. Aviloo performs a cell-level test not relying on BMS self-reporting. The two numbers often differ by 3 to 8 percentage points.
Nissan offered a capacity warranty on UK Leafs covering 9 battery bars out of 12. The period varies by model year. An Aviloo certificate provides independent evidence if you need to support a warranty claim.
