Both years sit within the first-generation Leaf (ZE0/AZE0, 2011–2017), so the cross member is likely to be compatible, but confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration before buying, as mid-generation running-gear revisions can affect fitment.
The first-generation Leaf ran from 2011 to 2017, while the second-generation (ZE1) launched in 2018 – these are distinct platforms with different underbody structures, so a cross member from across that boundary is very unlikely to fit directly. Name both registrations when you contact the breaker so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit.
Trim level does not affect the front cross member on the Nissan Leaf – the underbody structure is shared regardless of whether the car is a Visia, Acenta, or Tekna. You can buy from any of those trim grades without concern, though cosmetic items like undertray clips or splash guards may look slightly different between specs.
The battery capacity variants of the first-generation Leaf (ZE0/AZE0) share the same basic platform and front subframe design, so battery size alone should not affect cross member fitment. That said, confirm against your registration with the breaker, as any associated bracket or mounting differences are best verified on the actual parts rather than assumed.
Both the standard second-generation Leaf and the higher-capacity e+ variant sit within the ZE1 generation (2018 onwards), so the cross member may well interchange, but the heavier battery pack in the e+ can influence subframe specifications. Check the part numbers with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing to be sure.
First and second-generation Leafs are increasingly common in UK breakers' yards, so availability is generally reasonable. Have your registration number to hand so the breaker can confirm the exact generation, production date, and any mid-cycle changes that might affect the part – this is the most reliable way to avoid returning an incompatible cross member.
