P400e is Land Rover’s badge for the plug-in hybrid: a four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor and a 13.1 kWh battery that is charged from the mains. It is neither a conventional hybrid nor an electric car, and it needs checks from both worlds.
What to check on this specification
The battery and how the car has been used
A plug-in hybrid only delivers what it promises if it is actually plugged in. A car that has spent its life running on the engine with a flat battery has been carrying the weight of the hybrid system without using it, and the battery has been sitting at a low state of charge. Ask how it was charged, look for the cables, and check that the charge port and its flap work.
On the drive, confirm the car will run on electric power alone, that it switches between electric and engine without hesitation, and that the state-of-charge display behaves sensibly.
Battery warranty
Traction batteries carry their own manufacturer warranty, separate from the vehicle warranty, usually expressed in both years and miles and sometimes with a capacity threshold. Establish what remains and whether it transfers to a new keeper — some do and some do not.
Air suspension
Where the vehicle has air suspension, it is a wear item rather than a fit-and-forget system. The common failure is a leak from an air spring, and a compressor that later fails is often doing so because it has been working against that leak for months. The practical test is simple: leave the vehicle parked and unattended for as long as the seller will allow, then come back and look at it from a distance. A corner that has settled, or a vehicle that is noticeably lower than it was, is telling you something. A suspension warning message on start-up is telling you the same thing more loudly.
Electrics
Owner surveys of Land Rover models from this period report electrical faults as the leading complaint — engine and emissions warning lights, infotainment, keyless entry, air conditioning. Work through every function on the viewing. Individually these are small; in combination they are the reason these vehicles have the reliability reputation they do.
Ownership notes
A plug-in hybrid is a petrol vehicle for emissions-zone purposes, and a Euro 6 petrol clears the Euro 4 standard the London ULEZ asks of petrol cars comfortably.
Vehicle tax for plug-in hybrids depends on CO2 and first registration date; check the rate against the registration rather than assuming a hybrid is cheap to tax.
About this page
The address you are on was part of a used-car dealer site that no longer exists. The individual vehicle it once described was sold years ago; there is no stock here, nothing is for offer, and no enquiry goes anywhere. What has been kept is the specification the address itself encodes, written up as a reference for anyone looking at the same combination of model, engine, transmission and emissions standard on the used market today.
Nothing here is advice about a particular vehicle. Every point above is a thing to check on the car in front of you, and the official services linked below answer against a registration number rather than a model name.
