  • Check the operation of the rotary gear selector and the infotainment dial, ensuring they operate smoothly.
  • Inspect the vast array of interior electronics, including the rear-seat climate controls and sunblinds.
  • Verify the condition of the exterior chrome and the massive "crest" grille for any stone chips or damage.
  • On the Electrified G80 model, verify it accepts a rapid charge and the charging flap mechanism operates correctly.
