Second hand EV? (self.evs)

I've seen a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Premium SE fairly local and under £14,000 and under 30kiles. I've no idea what to look out for when buying used.

Any advice or thoughts on used ev's? Does mileage mean much. I suppose battery condition would be the main concern?

I got a three-year old EV and it's easily the best car I've had. Battery condition would be a concern for a 2013 car, the technology wasn't as good back then, but not a 2018 one. Hyundai (and sister brand Kia) have a seven-year transferable warranty. Browse the autotrader app a lot to see what you can get within 40 miles of your home so you know what's a good price. I bought from a dealership in the end, but not my local one, who tend to price a couple of grand above what I came to expect.
