Check the VIN before you pay
On record, the VIN ends 8GJZT.
Engine number on record: 62F4363405
- Find the VIN at the base of the windscreen, on a door pillar and on the V5C. All three should match.
- Meet at the address printed on the V5C, and check the logbook has the DVL watermark.
- Pay by bank transfer or card, never cash, so the payment can be traced.
- If the price looks too good to be true, ask why.

Charging
Time to charge the battery from 10% to 80% at each charger speed this car can use.
Type 2 (AC), front
up to 6.6 kW
- At 2.3 kW
- 13 h 9 min
- At 6.6 kW
- 4 h 35 min
CHAdeMO (DC), front
up to 50 kW

A home wall box is usually 7 kW. A rapid public charger is 50 kW and above. Times are the manufacturer's figures and vary with temperature and the charger.
Charging cables: type 2 to Type 2 charging cable; three pin domestic charging cable.
Tesla Supercharger network: not compatible.
The range is a test-cycle figure: expect less on the motorway and in cold weather. This data describes the model as built. It does not show how healthy this car's battery is today, so ask the seller for a battery health report before you buy.

Before insurance and servicing
Electric: what charging costs depends on your tariff and where you charge, so the table shows the average price at each kind of charger. Averages checked on 15 October 2026. Real-world use is higher on the motorway and in winter.
- Home, standard rate: The Ofgem price cap for October to December 2026: the Great Britain average unit rate on a default tariff paid by Direct Debit, including VAT at the current rate.
- Home, off-peak EV tariff: About 8p a kWh. Intelligent Octopus Go, a smart EV tariff, quotes 7.6p to 8p for charging between 11:30pm and 5:30am. Other suppliers and regions differ, and the rest of your electricity costs more.
- Public, up to 49 kW: The Zapmap average pay-as-you-go price for slow and fast public chargers, September 2026.
- Public rapid, 50 kW+: The Zapmap average pay-as-you-go price for rapid and ultra-rapid chargers, September 2026. Memberships and offers can bring it down.
Sources: Ofgem energy price cap, Intelligent Octopus Go, Zapmap charging price index.

- London ULEZNo charge expected
- Birmingham Clean Air ZoneNo charge expected
- Bristol Clean Air ZoneNo charge expected
- Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee low emission zonesNo charge expected
Confirm before you travel with TfL's vehicle checker or the GOV.UK clean air zone checker.
