Description

Selling my car for financial and personal reasons.It's been a solid runner since I bought it in 2016 and has performed so well that I'd more than happily buy another but I'm not in the financial state to get another as I don't do enough miles to warrant the continued ownership anymore.I kept all the receipts from the services up to today in a folder so you should have the details you need to refer to. The services are done to the UK standard.Battery condition is fine for this models age as the gauge inside shows 11 out of 12 bars, it's still good for say a trip from 100% to the edge of Glasgow but I found stickinging to 60 on the motorway was the best way to maximize range. The thing to understand with these vehicles is that the range isn't going to be as good as a typical petrol car especially with the infrastructure we have today so you really need to plan for the trip.I went to the dealer to repair it mostly for convenience and peace of mind but it can get expensive in the long run so you might want to seek a specialist in these types of cars.The rear suspension frame was replaced just outside the warranty period with a new set as the fitted one from the factory was plagued with incorrect tracking. So far the wheels are not out of alignment. The tyre life to me indicates they might need replacing next year, I haven't changed them as they're still within legal limits and you may want to choose the new ones yourself.Body and paintwork are in fine condition for the age as is the interior, there were some issues once with a dent that was fixed on the insurance of the driver that did the damage and I'm happy with the fix in this case.The stock horn I had replaced for an aftermarket model as it didn't sound right to me, I'll include it with the sale if you prefer to revert it back to the old one. Be careful though as this model required the front bumper be removed for the swap to be made.Also included are a couple of aftermarket cables from EV connectors. I feel such a cable is much better if you're right next to the charge port but the plug barely fits so you have to be careful as you pull it out.Driving it is a delight though, no gears to worry about and the instant torque from Zero makes you feel like it's a hot hatch at times. Of course given the range you really need to adopt a relaxed driving style but if you set it in regen mode using the selector the car almost brakes for you so you can just take your time as you glide from one junct.
