GWM Ora: Common Problems & Reliability Guide (South Africa)
Also covers: Ora 03, Ora 5
These are issues documented for the GWM Ora in general - things to check for, not a diagnosis of any particular car. Whether a specific car has one depends on its age, mileage, service history and how it was used.

What To Check
Not detectable through inspection or a normal test drive/charging session - the defect is a software state triggered only by the specific act of disconnecting an active charge without first cancelling it, with no other physical symptom. The correct buyer action is a VIN-based recall/software-version check with GWM SA, not a physical inspection or a deliberate attempt to reproduce the fault (which would be unsafe given the nature of the defect).
Check a specific real listing for this vehicle and see the evidence behind every documented issue - one report, only R69, once:
