This variant is a plug-in hybrid with an automatic e‑CVT-style drivetrain: it uses an electric motor for town driving and a petrol engine for longer trips, so it rewards regular charging. Because the PHEV battery and EV charging equipment are the key components, check the battery warranty paperwork and that the charging cable and inlet are present and in good condition; the battery will add weight and slightly reduce underfloor boot space compared with non‑PHEV variants.

• Hybrid battery state‑of‑health report and warranty papers (check remaining warranty cover for the traction battery).
• Charging lead, inlet and seals for damage and verify it charges correctly at home and on public chargers.
• e‑CVT/automatic drive modes and regenerative braking feel — drive in EV, hybrid and charge modes and confirm no warning lights or odd jerking.
• Boot floor / underfloor space (battery intrusion) and rear seat space for child seats; confirm ISOFIX access and luggage practicality.
