🔋 Battery Health Test⚡ Regenerative Braking Check📋 Full Mechanical Inspection
Hybrid-Specific Checks
- Hybrid battery state of health, measured against expected capacity for the model and age
- Regenerative braking system behaviour during the road test
- Hybrid system warning lights and stored fault codes via diagnostic scan
- Cooling system condition for the hybrid battery pack, where applicable
- Standard 12V auxiliary battery condition, often overlooked but just as important
Why Battery Age Matters More Than Kilometres
Hybrid battery degradation is influenced by age, heat exposure and charge cycles, not purely distance travelled. A low-kilometre hybrid that's spent years in hot, unshaded parking can sometimes show more battery wear than a higher-kilometre example that's been garaged.
Check the Battery Before You Buy
Battery replacement is one of the largest costs a hybrid owner can face — know the state of health first.
