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.

Known faults

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Sièges avant : rappel des fixations du dossier (Pro 286 ch (77 kWh), Pro S 286 ch (86 kWh), GTX 340 ch (86 kWh))

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Volkswagen ID.7”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Demander la preuve du rappel des sièges (code 72Y1) si la voiture est sortie d'usine avant mars 2024.
  • Faire un diagnostic de santé de la batterie de traction et vérifier la garantie restante.
  • Tester la charge rapide et la charge domestique avec le câble fourni.
  • Essayer l'écran central et les mises à jour logicielles (infodivertissement).

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le rappel des sièges avant (72Y1) a-t-il été effectué ?
  • Quelle est la garantie restante de la batterie et du véhicule ?
  • Quel est l'historique de recharge (rapide ou domestique) ?

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.
