Nissan Leaf Bulkhead Replacement Parts

The Nissan Leaf ran as a first generation from 2010 to 2017 and a second generation from 2018 onwards, and these two generations sit on different platforms with a completely redesigned body shell, so their bulkheads are not interchangeable. Always confirm the exact generation of any part you are quoted against your registration plate with the breaker before buying.

Both a 2013 and a 2016 Leaf fall within the first-generation range (2010–2017), so you are working within the same platform and body structure, which is a good starting point for fitment. That said, confirm with the breaker that the pressing matches your specific car, as mid-generation changes can occur that are not always publicly documented.

A 2017 Leaf is first generation and a 2018 Leaf is second generation — this is a direct generation boundary crossing, and the body shells are fundamentally different, making the parts incompatible. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration to be certain which generation your car actually is, particularly if it was registered close to the changeover.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Nissan Leaf — the structural body shell is the same whether your car is an Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, or any other trim within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic or finishing differences such as wiring loom brackets or insulation matting, but the panel itself will be the same, so do not let trim level put you off a quote from a breaker.

Battery size and powertrain specification do not affect the bulkhead, as fitment is determined by generation and body structure rather than engine or motor variant. Both the standard and e+ Leaf share the second-generation platform, so the bulkhead should be the same part — but confirm with the breaker against your registration in case of any mounting or bracket differences tied to the larger battery pack.

The Nissan Leaf sold in Japan (often known as the ZE0 or ZE1 depending on generation) shares its platform with the UK-market car, but there can be panel or pressing differences between market variants that are not always straightforward to verify. You should confirm compatibility with the breaker directly against your UK registration before committing to a purchase.
