Why a history check matters on a BYD Seal

BYD's AU distributor (EVDirect) had a contentious 2024 split with service partner — verify the seller's service history is from an authorised centre, not just any EV mechanic, otherwise the 8-year battery warranty can be voided. NEVDIS odometer continuity especially important; some early-2024 demo Seals were reset and re-sold as new (class action ongoing as of late 2025).

Common issues to verify on a used BYD Seal

Model-specific reliability concerns based on owner reports and manufacturer service bulletins. Use these as a checklist when inspecting a Seal privately, and check the dealer service history for evidence each item has been addressed.
