Condesation

Morning All

Got in Car today (2023 XC40 Recharge plus) to find condesation inside the tailgate. Initially thought it was outside but rear wiper didnt do the Job. When i open the tailgate there was heavy condesation which needed wiping off.
Just wondering if anyone has had similar experience please
Thank you

I’d check the floor in your boot - likely full of water. That condensation had to come from somewhere..

If you just got it, and particularly if from a dealer, the car may have been wet vacuumed/cleaned prior to sale. Take it for a drive with the aircon/heating up to maximum temperature, not on the recirculation setting, to get it good and warm and dry it out inside. It might need a few repeated trips.

Alternatively, as suggested, you may have "inherited" a leaky car.

I you look down the list of XC40 threads to one headed "XC40 2023 recharge pure boot leak", you will find you may not be alone.
