Besides doing tests to see how long the battery last now compared to what you would expect when it was new, you'd be best to enquire with Honda and see if they have facilities available to check the battery on the car.

^^ rep this man. How do I rep??

Anyways... 2006 shopping trolley here too. 90k.

There was nothing wrong with my battery but they did a reset for some reason on the last service. I've been reading stories of battery failures a fair bit. Eeekkkk. I wouldn't buy it unless its had the bat replaced.

I love my hybi but am gonna sell soon.

Battery warranty is 8 years... however the warranty for the inverter is not. Pray the inverter does not fail, you could be up for $7K or so for new one. I was buying a used hybrid, I would be only be willing to pay scap value if it was 7 years or older
