This is the first‑generation Kangoo Z.E. electric panel van (2012–2019 era) with a small battery pack (about 22 kWh originally) and a single‑speed electric drive — no conventional gearbox to worry about. Early Kangoo Z.E. vans often came with a separate battery‑lease option from Renault, limited real‑world range compared with modern EVs, and relatively slow AC charging; check whether it’s the L1 or L2 body for usable cargo length and the advertised payload (EV weight reduces net payload). Remember commercial vans in Ireland are dealt with under commercial insurance and DOE testing rather than private NCT rules.

• Battery state‑of‑health report (dealer Renault diagnostic or independent test) showing remaining usable capacity and realistic range versus the original ~22 kWh spec.
• Confirm whether the battery is owned or on Renault’s lease plan and request history of any battery replacements or warranty claims.
• Charge the vehicle from empty to full and verify charging port, cable and onboard charger operation; note charging times and any error codes during charging.
• Inspect load area and rear arches for floor wear, corrosion or patch repairs and check for rear suspension sag that indicates heavy use/overloading.
• Get a full high‑voltage system fault scan and check the 12V battery condition (starter/aux systems), plus DOE history for any recurring electrical issues.
