Nissan LEAF Named the UK’s Most Reliable Used Electric Car

The Nissan LEAF has been named the UK’s most reliable used electric car in Warranty Solutions Group’s (WSG) study of EV repairs across the country. This comprehensive study by a leading motor warranty specialist used a sample of 1,000 repair claims paid out on electric vehicle warranties between January and December 2025. The Nissan LEAF topped the reliability rankings, with an impressively low claim rate of 1.52%.  Providing insights beneficial to both drivers and dealerships, the survey results showed the difference in fault rates and repair costs across several of the most popular EV models in the UK.

Knowing you’re choosing a reliable car that meets the needs of your lifestyle, whether you’re looking to go electric or otherwise, is extremely important. For drivers who are looking to purchase an electric vehicle for the first time, choosing a dependable model like the Nissan LEAF can help make the transition easier.  The Nissan LEAF is already known as an excellent choice for drivers, named ‘Car to Watch’ by Company Car and Van, and The Sun’s 2025 ‘Car of the Year’. But with the additional reassurance of low warranty claim rates, the Nissan LEAF becomes an even more appealing choice for electric vehicle customers.    

First launched in 2011, the Nissan LEAF debuted as the world’s first mass-market purpose-built electric vehicle with up to 100 miles of range. The second-generation model arrived in 2018, offering even more advanced technology and an increased mileage range extending to around 160 miles. If you’re looking to buy a used EV there are still plenty of choices across the two earlier generations of the Nissan LEAF, perfect for customers looking for an even more accessible route into electric vehicle ownership.
