Wouldn't the easiest way to verify if it's a real Greenline be to check for the existence of the Start/Stop Button beside the Gear Lever? As far as I understand only the Greenline has Start/Stop fitted, and that button to disable it.

Yes, AFAIK too the only Pre-FL models with start / stop were the Greenline models so if it's 2012 and has the start/stop button that should confirm it alright. For facelift models it's a different story of course as start/ stop was fitted across most of the range

No stop/start

The plot thickens........

It is strange.... I have just re-checked the data for the car in ETOS, which confirms...

 

1. It left the factory, or should I say appears to have the "Greenline" grille badge fitted... (if you look at the image the number highlighted in "Blue" is faint which means "NOT FITTED" the badge, ighlighted in "Red" is bold which mean "FITTED".

 

2. The car did not have stop/start

 

 

3. This could be the main reason!! The car is EU5 not EU6 so not sure if that is the reason, EU5 emissions are higher than EU6 which would result in higher tax band...

 

 

4. It did not have a rear spoiler fitted.. 

 

 

I have also logged into my works system to check the registration details, all say it is a "Greenline" but does have "130" emissions.. Very strange....

Also didn't have regen braking looking at that which the greenline cars have.....

It is a strange one... every thing states it's a Greenline. . Should have a Greenline grille badge but so much states it is not. .. very strange..
