    There are currently in auto trader 408 (!!!) pre-registrated Jaguar I-paces for sale, all with less than 500 miles, starting at just under £38k – effectively on sale at half price. Not sure why JLR have flooded the market as it kills residuals but they must have had to pre-register in order to meet the bonkers ZEV mandate.

    Nevertheless, they do represent really good value and I am sure with so many sitting on the forecourt, additional deals – maybe on financing to be done. I fear for long term residuals though.

    I test drove one when they first came out and it’s a good car and arguably one of the best looking SUV EVs as well.

    I did briefly debate whether to leave the scheme altogether but we decided to stay on for the sheer convenience MB offers, not to mention rising insurance prices etc.

    Good luck with what you decide.
