06 Buyer's guide

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want ground clearance, a high seating position and load space: the typical strengths of the SUV body.
  • Drivers buying for enjoyment rather than space: coupes and roadsters trade rear space for style and handling.

Check before you buy

  • Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
  • Confirm the charging inlet and the speeds your market supports; plug types differ between regions.
  • Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
  • Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
  • Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
  • Run a history check (accidents, flood, mileage) before you bid. History check guide
  • Import age rules: this generation already qualifies in Kenya. Confirm the rule for your exact vehicle with customs before buying. Landed-cost calculator
