    Hello everyone,

    Long story short: right now I have Auris 2016 and want to change as part exchange on Toyota dealer for a Prius Excel top range, 2016 year model. The only concern I have is: this car has just 19k miles (genuine miles). Was driving like 1-2k miles/year. My question is: Is the battery health will still be ok? Toyota offers a warranty up to 10 years (which will be extra 3 years of life of this car), but if there is any mechanic around or anyone who can advice me what should i do. The car looks like new as was not used much at all. But I'm worried about this hybrid battery as was not used that much.



    Please, guys, I need your help as I'm about to buy this car.

    Thank you for your time to answer on this matter



    Kind regards,

    Silviu

    It’s not something we can assess over the internet.
    A proper scan should be done with tech stream.
    6-7 years of sitting are not great for any battery
    Is it nimh or lithium?
