Hi everyone, just joined this forum with my only EV experience as an Uber passenger ! Had to scrap my old diesel and agonising over the past few months what to do - new, second hand, petrol,. EV, lease, cash, salary sacrifice scheme.... I would be able to make it without a car for a while but realised I might lose my no claims bonus if I don't insure a car and end up paying thousands extra once I get one... I think I have to buy something second hand and use it for a couple of years or so.
Looking at what's available, seems MG 5 or MG ZS around 2021/2022 costing between £10K-£14K with anything between 20-60K mileage is my best bet. I think I prefer MG5 long range, ideally Exclusive.
Help! What should I look for when buying second hand long range MG 5? I never bought a second-hand car and know almost nothing about EVs ... Having a 7 year warranty is all I can think of but even there, not sure what invalidates it...
Also, I will have to use a house 3-pin socket to charge until I install something; do I need to buy a separate 3-pin cable or this comes with the car?
