AI Market Summary

Excellent running costs and zero-emission credentials—fuel savings and low motor tax make ownership affordable over time.
Median price holds steady; decent value for a mainstream EV, though battery degradation risk increases beyond five years.
Software glitches and charging-port contact issues reported; 12V battery drain during idle is a known early-Opel EV weakness—check infotainment responsiveness and test charging port fit before committing.
Insist on full charging-system diagnostic and request service records confirming any software updates applied since purchase.
Three recalls on file—verify all have been completed with dealer before signing; unresolved recalls may affect resale and insurance.
