The fault
How you spot it
The battery management requires regular calibration and software updates; the reports mention calibration every 10,000 to 15,000 km. If it is missed, the displayed state of charge and range drift away from reality, and fast charging cuts out early at the charger: sometimes even on cars under 10,000 km.
Because of the false display the range test misleads you, and fast charging that cuts out makes the car unusable on a long trip. The fix is typically software, so it is cheap, but only if you know about it.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
