things to look out for with low mileage 7+ year models

Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking on this forum for a while but am finally taking the plunge and buying my first ct. I’ve found a 2016 model that has sub 20k miles and is very keenly priced. The temptation is to immediately go for it due to it looking like a incredible deal but as a newbie I was hoping to ask the more experienced members points to look out for when buying such a low mileage model from 7 years ago. Aside from the hybrid battery issues from maybe not being used as much as it should be, are there any other issues I should be aware of when I go down to see it?
thanks in advance

You should be okay. I would start the car and make sure the engine doesn’t do the shakes. Other than that, make sure all electrical components.

I have to agree with everyone so far. I too had this car brand new since 2010 and it’s still running strong. I did have to do the head gasket repair and I noticed the drivers side window motor is starting to slow down, but other than that I haven’t had any issues at all. Love this little hatch and I’m sure you will too!
