It’s probably over here in Ireland. Up until the last days of brexit, 1/2 the 2nd hand cars for sale over here were imported from the UK. Residual values are much higher over here so it was more profitable to stick them on a transporter and ferry them to Ireland than sell them on a UK forecourt.
Possibly, I was searching for my last company lease car to see how much they had it advertised out of interest. Was shocked to find it for sale with Irish plates, I still had access to the BMW app for a while so I was able to find its location in Dublin and track it down that way.
From a CEO’s pov I think it makes perfect sense. Your video was a PR nightmare for the brand, especially one that’s listed on the stock exchange. The CEO had no idea wether you still thought the car was in good enough nick to continue driving and if not, asking you about it might have come off as insensitive. The only coarse of action left was to swap the car and essentially burying the old vehicle by shipping it overseas. The money spent on this endeavour was quite literally a piss in the bucket for a $14 billion company that’s worried about a potential drop in share prices. Honestly this is not a mystery.
Whatever happened to that car subsequently, is more a matter of interest than importance. Despite the dealership stating that it was subcontractors who did the cleaning, it is the dealership with whom you had the contract so it is their responsibility. I must say that Nissan, the manufacturer acted promptly and were very fair indeed in their response and I suspect that there would be some serious discussions with the dealership about this incident.
If sold in the UK there would have been a risk of it being identified by its registration causing more reputation damage. "back to Japan?" It was surely built in Sunderland. Ireland is the most likely RHD destination for export.
The very early Leafs (Leaves?) - the ones with the very light coloured seats - were Japanese built. Once the Sunderland plant kicked off making the Leaf, the very light upholstery vanished. Ironically, the Sunderland built Leafs have a better reliability reputation than the earlier Jap built ones......
Interesting story, glad Nissan took it seriously. I've heard it said that getting a car removed from the DVLA register by declaring it as 'exported' is an easy way to make a car disappear. I understand that no proof is needed to show that the car has been shipped or where it has gone to. Maybe that was a way of removing its identity, (with all the consequences that others have mentioned) and then possibly reregister it back with the DVLA. That would certainly be a less costly option than really shipping it off. I must admit that I have done the trawl to see the status of some of my previous cars, its a bit of fun especially with all these car history services springing up on the web.
the car would get its original plate back, I bought a bmw 750i brought it to Ireland. when I sold it it went back to the uk and it got its original plate back.
@@ianmenai I have seen a VIN number moved from one car to another, including all DVLA transactions. It costs and requires a lot of effort but it can be done. The result is untraceable. I am obviously not going to go into detail on a public forum.
Nissan probably acquire a very small number of cars at various stages of their life cycles to dismantle to examine wear, condition, etc,. It's possible that it happened to this car, thus killing two birds with one stone.
They can actually get good money for second hand cars abroad, especially evs. Certainly malta has a huge market for grey imports as tax is very high on cars and evs are massively encouraged under their system. Car tradesmen (dealers and mechanics) regularly head to UK auctions to purchase UK cars in good condition that Maltese snap up. In fact a friend of my sisters (who lives there) bought a second hand leaf. The whole nation is the size of Manchester so perfect for a leaf.
you hit the jackpot. it was a car that was going to be in the papers eventually and the CEO saw it and was like lets deal with this now. They wanted it over, can you imagine the disable veteran who buy the car in the UK with poor health that see the video after having the car for 3 months going to the press, my nisson car made me sicker. in the long run it was simpler to just burn the car than deal with the PR nightmare. remember they spend millions of advertising and this was not going to help them it cost them almost nothing and exporting the car prevent it blowing up even bigger as the 2nd time around its not a rouge employe its the CEO at this point. The headline would be CEO sold me a pissed on car
I have played that game and found my 1994 VW Caravelle (T4) was still running and done over 200k miles and my 2005 VW Shuttle (T5) had been scrapped! That says something about VW camper quality!
When i was a driving instructor Got a new Fiesta Automatic on contract in 2012. Three weeks later the car wrnt into limp mode on a lonely mountain road. Got it back to them and they worked on it, told me wasn't a quick fix snd that a replacement with dual controls was on its way from London, good work Ford 👏 Every time i passed the dealership though the car was lying in the yard, until around two years later it was gone. Never retaxed or recorded for MOT when i checked up. Disappeared 🤷🏼♂️
Was the problem actually with the auto box? Ford's Powershift autos have a crap reputation in the trade. Often referred to as Powersh*t I believe......
So a few year back i sold an old c180 merc estate to a Nigerian Lad. He was buying it on behalf of his mum and the thing that they often do is fill such cars up (sub £1000) with belongings they want to ship back. Anyway they do this because on balance its cheaper than space in a shipping container and those mercs will have a longer life being repaired out in africa. This is to say you might be surprised on the real cost of exporting cars. I doubt nissan spent to much doing what they did is all.
Just think about it! From Nissans point of view, the video will always be there and that car will always be the one that got pissed on, it will always be an embarrassment for them (even though it was not Nissans fault) so, remove it from the environment and it has less power……I speak from experience I was embarrassed by a computer I built for someone and put a lot of time into supporting the users, it wasn’t paid for and returned, I took it a part and gave the components away…….inanimate objects can have a lot of power.
By exporting it to Ireland, it will be sold under a different registration, so the new owner would never be aware that is was the “pee car” if they saw the video or got to hear about it
Sold two less than three year old cars to dealerships in my country and they've both been exported. I guess they just make more money selling them somewhere else. VW Golf Petrol and BMW i3S 120Ah.
Excellent video. I’ve currently got my 4year old Discovery Sport which I’ve had from new at a dealership because it just died on me. Up to now the bill is apparently just under £500 for diagnostics alone and they still haven’t found the problem. It’s alway been serviced and MOT’d by Land Rover. I’ve just got out of hospital because 4days after the breakdown I had a heart attack.
@@MyFord77 they have that one covered, since you are on their premises , you are consenting to being filmed, if you don’t want to be filmed then don’t enter.
To me the obvious thing to do would have been to replace all the seats with brand new and give it the most thorough clean inside and out a car has ever got after buying it back. As long as you hadn't disclosed the reg then I'm not sure what could have gone wrong, I suppose the secret history would always have hung over the car. Would a Sunderland built Leaf be homologated on the Japanese market if returned there?
My theory is that the car itself went back to the manufacturer, and that they crushed it. I would assume that story eventually got heard by Nissan's headquarters, and they wouldn't play around with such a blow (pun not intended) to their reputation.
Could have been bought and put on a pesonalised plate ever since. Export to ireland, or if exported to northern ireland the owner there could have requested it to be flipped over to a local plate.
Can you search by VIN instead of Registration number? They may have 'exported' it, then 're-imported' it under a new Registration number to get rid of the stigma from your video? Cheaper option?
I sold my Chevrolet HHR after advertising on eBay to someone who exported it immediately (I made sure that I was paid in full and in cash). It just means different parts of the registration document have to be completed.
Could it have been processed as an export and then directly reimported to wipe its Identity? I have no idea how these things work but just getting a brand new identity might have been enough?
Most likely they had a requirement (warranty replacement / gift / Internal use car) for your old car in another country as it met trim/colour/age/mileage etc
They recognised your cunning ways and foresaw a video like this trying to track the car down some months after the exchange and so thought “better stick it on a ship”
It probably went off to Ireland. Prior to brexit, a lot of people in Ireland would buy slightly old UK reg cars, pay the VRT and other taxes and get new Irish plates. Even with taxes and transportation costs it was still cheaper than buying locally. That's changed now of course.
99.9999% of those are JDM models. It wouldn't make financial sense to import a Leaf from the UK to Australia when the Japanese ones are closer and cheaper.
Nissan couldn't take the chance that this car and its story would re-emerge into the public eye with an owner ignorant of and displeased with its micturition history
It won’t have ended up in Singapore as they don’t import used cars but it could have gone to Malaysia where a lot of unwanted used cars with poor colours and low specs end up for sale at a premium to their value in the U.K.
Probably went to Ireland or one of the islands. They obviously couldn't risk any associated number plate or any way of that car been linked. Damage limitation.
The new importer owner complained that the "new car" smell was different.....almost like someone had peed in it........nouveau new car aroma I believe.
If you still have or know the vin number try car Vertical, they seem to be the go-to of choice for the motor industry and check car databases from around the world. That's if you are still keen to find out what has happened to your old motor, sorry EV, we can't call them a motor nowadays can we…LOL…
Yeah. Which you should ask about... If there's nothing shady going on, they don't need to do that. The place I go to doesn't unplug them. Neither does the dealer I got one car from.
Oh no... I own a Leaf about that age... It was imported into Australia. Oh no! Mine has Japanese text on everything though, so unless they went to incredible effort, I don't think mine's the pee car.
Lots of comments on this but none mentioning the fact that the car was traded at just one year old. OK odd circumstances but is there not a motivation to actually be less damaging to the environment?
It's in Ireland 100%, Ireland prior to Brexit bought more 2nd hand cars from the UK than the residents themselves. Then gets a new plate in Ireland. You could pay for a report and see where it went 🤣
Use a site called carvertical to look up where it was exported to (you’ll need the VIN number) it will show a fairly good history of where its been but not owner. Im a brit living in Sweden and had just sold my Volvo xc70. I was curious to see what had happened to mine after it was no longer on the government car records and marked as exported also. So using that site found it had ended up in Finland.
Isle of man maybe needed the exact car got sent over there maybe we regularly used to drop cars at the docks to go overseas its not uncommon if someone wants an there none available.
Back then Nissan UK were selling year old Leaf's for £10,500 along with a full 5 year warranty these were supposed to be ex demonstrators I know because because I bought one Your car probably ended up in one of the UK offshore islands or Ireland
Or even Ireland (Republic of course) as it would need to be re-registered there. That could make some sense as the value of the pound dropped somewhat in 2016 so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for someone in Ireland to buy and export.
We sold our 2015 24kw Tekna to webuyanycar in 2018. It has never been back on the road in the U.K. Still on an app for all our vehicles. I think maybe its on private land. Ours was thankfully urine free.
I wonder if it became a dealership pool car - IIRC they don't always show MOT and tax status online. EDIT: Another possibility it was sold to someone who believes in all the freeman of the land/common law stuff who think they can change the status of their car to exported to get out of paying tax.
What got inside it is a little concerning though. If he'd been washing with the pee, his hands were covered in pee. And usually the car washer moves the car themselves after, so he likely touched the steering wheel with pee on his hands. Imagine if he drove to McDonald's, grabbed a burger, ate it, then went home and looked at the dashcam footage...

A lot of garages here import UK cars.
Scrapped for parts? Then if it hit the papers then nobody can be seen to still own that car.

Exported it because like most old EVs no one wants to buy them. Therefore exported for parts/ materials.
Probably went to Ireland or one of the islands. They obviously couldn't risk any associated number plate or any way of that car been linked. Damage limitation.

Before you said exported I was saying it got re registered on a new number plate.
Possibly weighed about 10 ½ stone more with a broken boot lock when it left the country.
