Used Car Buying
Discussion
Hi,
I'm hoping to pick up a 3/4 year old e-Niro over the next few weeks if the prices are right. I'm relatively new to the world of EVs and so just wanted to get an idea of the checks you'd normally carry out during an inspection when buying one. I'm aware that with Kia, they can be quite strict about Service History, making warranty void if servicing is carried out an inappropriate intervals or using non OEM parts so this is something I ask about ahead of viewing. I think in most instances with the cars I've looked, people have serviced at a Kia, so I probably don't need to delve too deeply into what has ben done in the service. I'll be taking a look at the wheels, any scratches on the car, and do some break tests, as well as checking the battery range, but just curious if I'm missing much here and if there's anything I need to add.
Thanks in advance
