The Nissan LEAF has again been named the UK’s most reliable used electric car

Analysis by Warranty Solutions Group took in a sample of 1,000 real-world repair claims paid by the company on EV warranties issued between January and December 2025.

The resulting data highlights significant differences in both fault rates and repair costs across the UK’s most popular electric models – offering valuable insights for drivers and dealers alike.

The Nissan LEAF topped the reliability rankings with an impressively low claim rate of just 1.52 per cent, making it a reassuring choice for EV buyers seeking peace of mind.

Ewan Lewis, Sales Manager at Bassetts Nissan Swansea said: ‘‘This survey uses feedback from real-world customers about the reliability of their cars, and it shows a consistently strong performance from the Nissan LEAF.

‘‘For customers new to this technology and perhaps considering an electric vehicle purchase for the first time, knowing it is going to be reliable is very reassuring. We know our customers love LEAF, so it’s great to see this reflected in this reliability survey too.’’

The second-generation model, featuring more technology and increased range, arrived in 2018. This means there’s plenty of choice of used models for customers, making it an accessible route into EV ownership.

Proudly built in Britain, the new car also qualifies for the full Electric Car Grant discount of £3,750.
