Fitment on a used central locking motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the Nissan Leaf does not use central locking motors in the conventional sense. Because the Leaf is a fully electric vehicle, Nissan designed its door locking system around electronic actuators integrated into the door latch assembly rather than separate motor units labelled as central locking motors. If you are trying to fix a door that won't lock or unlock, the part you are most likely looking for is a door latch assembly or door lock actuator for the specific door (nearside front, offside rear, etc.).
On the Leaf, the locking function is built into the door latch assembly, which combines the mechanical latch and the electric actuator in one unit. You'll need to identify which door is faulty and search for the correct door latch or lock actuator for that door position (for example, nearside front door latch). Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker, as the latch design may differ between the first-generation Leaf (2011–2017) and the second-generation Leaf (2018 onwards).
These are two different generations — the first-generation Leaf ran from 2011 to 2017, and the second-generation Leaf launched in 2018 with a redesigned body and interior — so the door latch assemblies are unlikely to be interchangeable across that boundary. You should confirm compatibility directly with the breaker, quoting both registration numbers so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit.
For the door latch and lock actuator, trim level (Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, etc.) does not affect fitment — the locking mechanism is the same across the range for a given generation. You may find cosmetic differences around the door furniture, but the latch unit itself should interchange within the same generation regardless of trim. Always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The Leaf e+ (with the larger 62 kWh battery) shares the same second-generation body as the standard Leaf, so door latch assemblies are expected to be the same — the battery variant does not change the door structure. That said, confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as minor running changes can occur across a production run.
