2018 Nissan Leaf 40kWh 2.0L Electric 5-door with Heated Seats and 360 Camera

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2018 Nissan Leaf for a couple of years now — not just as a daily driver, but actually as a bit of a test drive for how electric cars can feel. Honestly, it’s more fun than I expected. The acceleration isn’t flashy, but it’s smooth and gives you that little surge you get in petrol cars — just without the noise. And the silence? That’s a real game-changer. You just feel like you’re floating through the city, no engine noise, no vibration.

It’s got a full 360 camera system, heated seats (front and rear), and heated steering wheel — nice little touches. The cabin is warm and quiet, especially in winter, thanks to the heat pump system. I’ve also had it through a full AA inspection, so it’s been checked thoroughly — no hidden issues. Last service was at 42,578 miles, and it’s been well looked after.

I’ve got a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a DAB radio. The interior is clean, the wheels are 17-inch alloys, and the seats are comfortable — especially with the manual adjust on both driver and passenger seats. There’s even a blind spot warning and lane departure alert, which I found really useful when I was driving in traffic.

I bought it in Munlochy, Highland, and it’s been sitting in a quiet spot, not much used, just a few short trips. I’ve had a few chats with people who’ve been skeptical about EVs, and this one really helped them see it wasn’t just a niche car — it’s actually practical, quiet, and easy to drive.

It’s not the cheapest EV out there, but it’s been a solid, reliable ride. I’m not selling it to be flashy — I just want someone who’s looking for a low-maintenance, quiet, and comfortable car that actually works well in real life.

If you're thinking about switching to electric, this might be your first real chance to try one without the hype.

Price is £6,295.50 — I know that’s not cheap, but it’s been a good value for what it offers.

I’m open 7 days a week, and I’m happy to chat or show it around. No pressure, just real talk.

P.S. I’ve kept a close eye on battery health — it’s not perfect, but it’s still in good shape. If you're worried about range or performance, I’d recommend checking with a mechanic before committing. I’ve seen a few EVs that lose range over time, but this one has been well-maintained.

Let me know if you’d like to see it — I’m happy to take you out for a spin.
