yes if only could get a formal SOH the 113k Cat S SOH was at 96% which is incredible - the range was indicating 27 miles range too. and i forget the battery birthday date but was either 1923 or 1423 ( BTW Cat S insurance write off means it has had a serious accident possibly affecting the...

looked at 2 PHEV today. both 64 plates 1 was 113K miles - the battery hadnt been reset but SOH on Watchdog was 96% more or less! the 2nd 120K miles again no battery reset but SOH was at 76% which would you say was the more normal? unfortunately I realised that the 1st was a cat S altho not...

thanks for the answers - yes I did feel nervous about a private buyer - so I found one in a dealership locally and had my first test drive.. seemed quite comfortable - altho there might have been a tracking problem. wear on the front Left ( nearside ) tire - felt like it wanted to pull to...

thats probably correct but buying from a private sale may not have this luxury only indication can have there and then is the app? Not sure I can drag the driver to Dealers verify this Data? would it be done under warranty ? Going to a car dealer and they seem to know nothing about...

what range of SOH you think ok for 2015 with 63k miles on the clock? I am taking PHEV watchdog.. I wont buy it if it has had a battery reset. but what SOH should I expect? 95% seems unlikely right? 69% means I can take battery back to Mitsu as long as under 100k miles? appreciate advice...

thanks Elm - some great info there. another dealer has offered me a long test drive if I want. I can also plug in the watchdog he says.. so feasibly I could ask him to fully charge it? confirm its fully charged and then hit the dual carriageway for 20 mins? what style of driving do you...

i was wondering how many would be needed, I have 1 x 100 watt on my caravan - maybe if it it's connected to all week? I am sure I will start to get the hang of these charging equations. Not really seeing such high mileage vehicles here in the UK? Is such mileage common on other cars in the...

whats people's experience of dealers letting you plug it in? is the only way to easily get the battery SOH?

thanks - yes I did wonder. So the search continues... I've seen other high mileage vehicles. but from a dealer seems most dealers plead ignorance and dont comment on Battery health, or SOH is there any way to find it out in the vehicle? other than measuring how much charge the battery is...

I'm dying to buy a PHEV GX4 for sure I found one I like the look of - ie price.. but its not low mileage - 93k I talk to the owner and found they have the PHEVwatchdog app battery looks fantastic! 95% but then I notice the battery birthday cake is saying 97 days.. I ask if the...
