Questions to ask the seller
- Can you show Transportstyrelsen's "Fordonets skulder" (vehicle debt) service, or otherwise confirm there is no outstanding vehicle tax, congestion charge, or parking-fine debt tied to this vehicle? Unpaid vehicle debt transfers to the new owner in Sweden, not the previous one, and can lead to Kronofogden seizing the car.
- Why does the ad show 52,880 km while the inspection on 2026-07-13 records 52,890 km? Please provide the inspection report and any odometer history.
- Please provide full service receipts proving the brake fluid was replaced after 48,000 km (or confirm you will replace it before delivery).
- Why are there 4 registered owners since 2023? Explain the ownership chain (lease, rental, trade-in, private resale).
- Has the VIN been checked with Nissan for the VCM recall listed for 2017–2023 Leafs? If yes, provide proof the campaign was completed.
- Please supply the full MRF varudeklaration and the exact warranty terms (length/mileage and what is excluded).
- Do you have a recent battery health / range report (or BMS readout) showing current battery capacity and charging performance?
What to check in person
- Never pay a deposit or the full price before you've seen and test-driven the car in person — be wary of pressure to decide immediately ("today only" pricing), or a seller who avoids meeting or an independent inspection.
- Pay by bank transfer or Swish, never cash to someone you haven't met or verified, and complete the registered ownership transfer (ägarbyte) digitally at handover rather than leaving it for later.
- Test the battery's state of charge and real-world range during the test drive, and ask the seller for a battery health report if one exists.
- Confirm odometer reading in person matches the inspection document showing 52,890 km and ask to see the inspection report.
- Check service receipts for brake-fluid replacement (48,000 km interval) or have the dealer perform the service before sale.
- Run VIN through Nissan's official recall lookup and get written confirmation whether the VCM recall was completed.
- Readout battery health/BMS or ask for recent capacity test to verify range and charging performance.
- Test-drive to verify regenerative braking, charging behavior and listen for unusual noises; inspect body for uneven panel gaps, repaint or repair signs.
- Check tyre tread depth and brake-pad thickness and get quotes if replacement is needed.
