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.
- Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
