Moderate sample. 335 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

Before buying, ask the seller for their service history and specifically check the battery management and electrical systems, since PHEV powertrains do introduce complexity that can catch owners off-guard.
