2025 BYD Seal Excellence EV AWD Electric · WD75 SWW

The vehicle has no MOT record on the DVSA database, which is expected for a 2025 model as the first compulsory MOT is not required until the third anniversary of registration. Consequently there is no recent test outcome to gauge a maintenance trend; the absence of data means a prospective buyer cannot infer whether the car’s condition is improving, stable or deteriorating and must rely on a physical inspection and any available service documentation. Mileage has not been disclosed, so a quantitative comparison with the vehicle’s age cannot be made. For a two‑year‑old electric saloon a typical annual run‑off would be in the region of ten to twelve thousand miles; a markedly lower figure would suggest limited use and potential age‑related component degradation, whereas a substantially higher figure would indicate heavy utilisation and accelerated wear of tyres, suspension bushings, brake discs and the 12 V auxiliary battery. Without a mileage figure the buyer should ask the seller for a recent odometer reading and, if possible, a log of any long‑distance journeys to assess the likely wear profile. Given the likely low or moderate usage of a relatively new EV, the buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry‑rot or hardening of the rubber, and verify that the tread depth is even across all four wheels; uneven wear may point to mis‑aligned steering or worn suspension components. Examine the wheel bearings and suspension bushes for any play, corrosion or leaking grease, and listen for clunking noises when applying the brakes or driving over bumps. The 12 V battery should be tested for cranking voltage and checked for signs of sulphation, while the high‑voltage pack health can be confirmed by a diagnostic scan that reports state‑of‑charge capacity and any cell imbalance warnings. Verify that the coolant for the battery thermal management system is at the correct level, free of contamination and that the radiator and hoses show no signs of leakage or corrosion. Finally, ensure that all electronic systems are fully functional: the charging port and cable connectors must be free of corrosion and securely latch, the on‑board diagnostics should report no fault codes, and the regenerative‑braking system should engage smoothly without a pulsating feel. Confirm that any software updates recommended by the manufacturer have been applied, and that any recalls affecting the model have been rectified. A thorough visual inspection of the underbody for rust, especially around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, together with a test drive that includes steady cruising, gentle acceleration and a full stop, will reveal any latent issues such as brake drag, abnormal whine from the motor or abnormal vibration that could affect long‑term roadworthiness.
