Fuel pump clicks off prematurely, preventing the tank from reaching its full capacity.
Inspect · Turn the ignition on and check the digital range display. If the fuel gauge reads full but the estimated range is unusually low, the tank breather valve may be faulty.
Unexplained stress cracks originating from the lower windscreen cowl area.
Inspect · Run a torch along the lower black-frit band of the windscreen, checking for hairline fractures starting beneath the wiper blades.
Panoramic roof 'Star Gaze' dimming glass faults.
Inspect · If fitted, test the electrochromic roof switches between clear and frosted.
Condensation or visible water droplets inside the full-width rear LED light bar.
Inspect · Inspect the rear light bar closely with a torch, specifically at the outer edges, looking for misting or pooled water inside the lens.
Infotainment glitches and wireless charging pad faults.
Inspect · Test the touchscreen, phone pairing and charging pad.
Grabby regenerative braking transition.
Inspect · Test-drive to confirm smooth braking feel.
Power boot lid groans, reverses direction, or fails to open to maximum height.
Inspect · Cycle the power boot open and closed twice using the key fob. Listen for motor strain and ensure it latches smoothly without bouncing back.
Occasional 12V auxiliary battery drain.
Inspect · Check the 12V battery age and that the car starts reliably.
