2026 Geely Starray EM-I MAX Phev Auto Hybrid electric (clean) · DP26 YDS

The vehicle has no MOT record on the DVSA database, which is expected for a 2026‑model car that is still within its initial three‑year exemption period. Consequently there is no recent test outcome to reference and no observable trend in pass or fail results; the absence of data simply means the roadworthiness of the car cannot be gauged from MOT history and the prospective buyer should treat the vehicle as untested in this respect. Mileage has not been supplied, so an assessment of annual usage rates or any pattern of high‑kilometre accumulation is not possible. Without a mileage figure the buyer cannot infer whether the power‑train, suspension or braking components have been subjected to typical wear, nor can any correlation be drawn between age and wear‑related degradation. In the absence of this information, the evaluation must rely entirely on a physical inspection and service documentation. Given that the car is a brand‑new 2026 STARRAY EM‑I MAX PHEV, the primary focus should be on time‑related items rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that could indicate storage damage; verify that the tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum and that the wheels are free of corrosion on the rims and hub faces. Examine the high‑voltage battery pack and 12 V auxiliary battery for proper mounting, secure connections and any evidence of fluid leakage; a healthy PHEV battery should show no bulging cells and the low‑voltage battery should hold a firm charge when the engine is off. Check the coolant reservoir for correct level and clarity, and confirm that the brake discs are free of surface rust and that the pads have sufficient thickness, as new cars can develop a thin rust film if stored for extended periods. Finally, ensure that the vehicle’s service book contains the initial pre‑delivery inspection stamp and that any software updates recommended by the manufacturer have been applied, as these are critical for the hybrid control systems and emission compliance. When taking the car for a test drive, listen for any abnormal noises such as clunking from the suspension bushings or coil springs, which could hint at damage incurred during transport. Pay attention to the feel of the regenerative braking system; any shudder, pulsation or delayed response may signal brake caliper binding or worn pads. Observe the operation of the electric motor and the transition between electric and combustion modes; any hesitation, loss of power or warning lights on the instrument cluster should be investigated immediately. A thorough visual inspection combined with these dynamic checks will give the buyer a reliable picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness despite the lack of MOT and mileage data.
