Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You have convenient, regular charging at home, work or nearby: an electric car could fit your day-to-day routine.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You often travel far with little time to stop: check the battery's condition, realistic winter range and charging speed for this exact version.
- You are choosing based on mileage: a usable distance is not recorded here. Confirm whether this is a new/delivery-mileage car or an incomplete advert.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is a 2026 all‑electric Dolphin hatch with a single‑speed automatic drive (typical EV layout). BYD uses robust lithium battery technology on recent models and the car will charge via the standard CCS/Type‑2 European inlet — check the listed maximum AC and DC charging rates for the Surf trim. As a new car you’ll want to confirm the exact battery and vehicle warranty durations, that dealer pre‑delivery checks were completed, and whether a home charger or charging cable(s) are included.
- Confirm CCS/Type‑2 charging port works smoothly and charging flap seals correctly; test at a public rapid charger if possible.
- Ensure Mode 3 (Type‑2) charging cable and any delivered home charger paperwork/accessories are present.
- Get written confirmation of the battery warranty and overall vehicle warranty (duration, mileage limits and what’s covered).
- Check that driver‑assist cameras/sensors are present and calibrated, and verify the software/firmware is up to date.
- Inspect paint, trim and door seals for delivery damage and check tyre age/pressure (new cars can still sit for months).
