sorry no

from the IRS

To qualify, a vehicle must meet all of these requirements:

Have a sale price of $25,000 or less. Sale price includes all dealer-imposed costs or fees not required by law. It doesn't include costs or fees required by law, such as taxes or title and registration fees.
Have a model year at least 2 years earlier than the calendar year when you buy it. For example, a vehicle purchased in 2023 would need a model year of 2021 or older.
1) Not have already been transferred after August 16, 2022 to a qualified buyer.
6)2) Have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds
3) Be an eligible FCV or plug-in EV with a battery capacity of least 7 kilowatt hours
4) Be for use primarily in the United States
5) You buy the vehicle from a dealer.

6) For qualified used EVs, the dealer reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.

you may not meet rule 1 and definitely don't met rules 5 and 6

the above come the page you listed. just scroll down a bit.

Hi Mike, thanks for the prompt reply, few details I left out due to the character limit, apologies.

The car is a 2021. I've read that using Is Your EV Eligible for the Used EV Tax Credit? | KeySavvy

allows for people to apply for the credit as it acts as an escrow/dealer, not sure where this would land regarding the dealer report.
