Verdict
Combi électrique de 1 121 litres de coffre, classé cinq étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2022. Les retours d'utilisateurs publiés sont rares. Le point à vérifier est le rappel des modules de batterie haute tension (risque d'incendie) qui vise les ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 et ID. Buzz construits entre 2022 et août 2024, à contrôler par le numéro de série en concession.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- 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

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.

Inspection checklist
Volkswagen ID. Buzz I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire Volkswagen, que le rappel des modules de batterie a été effectué.
- Demander un état de santé de la batterie de traction et l'historique de recharge.
- Contrôler les portes coulissantes (mécanisme, joints, ouverture et fermeture) et la fermeture du hayon.
- Tester l'écran tactile, les commandes vocales et les aides à la conduite : logiciel à jour ?
- Vérifier la présence de la pompe à chaleur (option) et le nombre de places (5 ou 7 selon la version).
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel des modules de batterie haute tension a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
- La batterie a-t-elle fait l'objet d'un contrôle de santé, et que donne-t-il ?
- Quelle autonomie réelle obtenez-vous sur autoroute ?
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.
