Verdict

Good choice, check first

SUV électrique à 5 places et 468 litres de coffre, cinq étoiles à l'Euro NCAP, proposé avec des batteries de 63 et 87 kWh (autonomie WLTP de 403 à 520 km en traction) et en e-4ORCE à quatre roues motrices. Le modèle est récent et les retours publiés sont peu nombreux : CarVerif ne signale aucune campagne de rappel massive sur la batterie ou le moteur, seulement des bugs du système multimédia.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Nissan Ariya”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

  • 3 November 2023 — Les rasages fibreux conducteurs de l’ensemble de la bague glissante des moteurs d’entraînement peuvent provoquer un court-circuit entre les deux anneaux glissants, entraînant un surintensité détecté dans l’onduleur. En conséquence, le couple moteur est coupé pour protéger les composants internes du contrôleur, ce qui entraîne une perte d’entraînement et potentiellement un affichage «ev system off» sur le tableau de bord, augmentant ainsi le risque d’accident.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Contrôler l'état de santé de la batterie (certificat de capacité) et l'autonomie réelle annoncée à 100 %.
  • Vérifier que les mises à jour logicielles du système multimédia sont à jour.
  • Tester la charge rapide et la charge domestique avec le câble livré.
  • Demander l'historique d'entretien et la date des mises à jour logicielles chez Nissan.
  • Vérifier les garanties restantes (véhicule et batterie) dans le carnet.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quelle est la capacité de batterie réellement disponible (63 ou 87 kWh) et son état de santé ?
  • Le système multimédia a-t-il déjà posé problème ou été mis à jour ?
  • Le véhicule a-t-il été utilisé en charge rapide fréquente ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Compare prices of parts for the Nissan Ariya I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car
