Verdict

Buy with care

Grande berline électrique de près de 5 m vendue en France depuis 2023, créditée de 5 étoiles Euro NCAP par Sports-cars.fr, avec un coffre de 410 litres et une batterie Blade LFP annoncée à 88 kWh bruts. Aucune panne ni aucun rappel visant la Han n'est documenté publiquement et les retours de propriétaires manquent : la fiabilité n'est pas notée. Vérifiez la garantie restante et la proximité d'un atelier BYD.

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • Emissions of the versions in this guide: 0 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BYD Han”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

A 2023 BYD Han (3 years old) keeps about 93% of its original capacity on average: an average loss of 2.3% a year measured on more than 22,700 EVs, higher with a lot of rapid charging. Only a battery test gives a car's real figure. Geotab (new tab)

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Vérifier avec le numéro de série (VIN), chez un concessionnaire BYD, les rappels et mises à jour logicielles déjà effectués.
  • Contrôler la garantie restante de la batterie Blade (8 ans annoncés) et demander l'état de santé de la batterie.
  • Tester l'écran central rotatif de 15,6 pouces : fluidité, redémarrages, connexion du téléphone sans fil.
  • Essayer une recharge rapide en courant continu (jusqu'à 120 kW) et une recharge sur prise domestique ou borne.
  • Repérer l'atelier BYD le plus proche et les délais de pièces avant d'acheter.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Avez-vous les factures et l'historique d'entretien du réseau BYD, avec les mises à jour logicielles ?
  • La batterie a-t-elle fait l'objet d'un diagnostic, et la garantie constructeur est-elle transférable ?
  • La voiture est-elle restée immobilisée ou a-t-elle eu un incident de recharge ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
