Verdict

Buy with care

SUV 100 % électrique sur plateforme MEB, classé 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2024, avec un coffre de 536 litres et 5 places. Le modèle est très récent : aucune panne ni rappel n'est documenté dans les sources consultées, ce qui ne prouve pas sa fiabilité. Vérifiez les rappels par le numéro de série et la garantie restante de la batterie.

Prices abroad

Not enough listings collected yet in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy or the United Kingdom for this model.

You are importing the car to:

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.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier chez un concessionnaire Ford, avec le numéro de série, les rappels et mises à jour logicielles effectués.
  • Demander un diagnostic de santé de la batterie et la durée de garantie restante.
  • Tester une recharge rapide et une recharge lente avec le câble fourni.
  • Vérifier le fonctionnement de l'écran central, des caméras et des aides à la conduite.
  • Contrôler l'usure des pneus et des freins.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quelle est la version (propulsion 286 ch ou intégrale 340 ch) et la capacité de batterie ?
  • Avez-vous un rapport de santé de la batterie et combien de garantie reste-t-il ?
  • Les rappels et mises à jour logicielles ont-ils été effectués chez Ford ?

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.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Ford Explorer EV I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

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