Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid/EV in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Identify hybrid vs PHEV vs EV from the charge port and badging before you compare prices. For EV, confirm pack size (28 vs 38.3kWh) and actually plug it in. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.
