Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Have a Renault dealer, using the serial number, read the fault codes and check that the software updates have been carried out.
  • Test the multimedia screen, the trip computer and the tyre pressure monitoring system.
  • Hybrid: long test drive in town and on the road to detect jerks during electric/petrol transitions.
  • Check that the rear bench slides properly.
  • Check the service book and the invoices.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Were the electronic bugs dealt with under warranty? Do you have the repair orders?
  • Have the software updates and recalls been carried out at Renault?
  • For the plug-in hybrid: was it charged regularly?

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.
