Second Hand Nissan Leaf Camshaft

No — the Nissan Leaf is a fully electric vehicle and has never been fitted with a combustion engine in any variant or trim level, which means it has no camshaft, no crankshaft, no valvetrain, and no engine oil system whatsoever. The Leaf is driven entirely by an electric motor, so none of the reciprocating engine components that a breaker would supply exist on this car. If you've been quoted for a camshaft for a Leaf, there may be a misunderstanding about the vehicle.

It's very likely there's been a mix-up, either with the vehicle or the part name, since the Leaf's electric motor has no camshaft at all. If you're having a drivetrain or motor fault, the parts you might genuinely be looking for include the electric drive motor, the motor inverter, the reduction gear assembly, or power electronics components. It's worth double-checking the vehicle registration and the fault diagnosis with your garage before requesting quotes.

No variant of the Nissan Leaf across any generation — including the first-generation (2011–2017), the second-generation (2018-onwards), or the higher-capacity e+ models — has ever been fitted with a combustion engine, so none of them carry a camshaft regardless of trim level. The Visia, Acenta, Tekna, and e+ designations refer to equipment and battery differences, not engine variants. Every single Leaf left the factory with an electric motor only.

Those listings are almost certainly the result of automated catalogue errors, where parts databases have incorrectly associated combustion engine parts with the Leaf. A genuine camshaft listed against a Leaf registration would not fit or serve any purpose on the car. Contact a breaker directly, explain your actual fault or symptom, and they can advise on the correct electrical or drivetrain component you need.
