A true game-changer
To provide an accurate picture of the seriousness of any faults, owners are also asked to disclose how long their car was off the road for, and how much it cost to rectify the issue. Those two results are combined to create a reliability rating for each model.
A Nissan spokesperson said: ‘‘We are delighted to see that even though it was launched more than a decade ago, the first-generation LEAF is still attracting attention for all the right reasons.
‘‘It truly was a game changer for electric motoring, not just in the UK, but right around the world. And Nissan certainly hasn’t stood still in the intervening years. Our electrification journey has continued apace and just this year of course, we launched ARIYA – our next-generation crossover EV, capable of travelling up to 329 miles on a single charge.’’
