Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a 2nd car that's efficient for daily driving from Wellington to Upper Hutt (usually just myself) but occasionally I will pickup my kids from school and am looking at a 2014 Toyota Corolla Fielder. The car is a hybrid, comes with WOF, rego etc and is sold by a dealership but there doesn't seem to be a way I can test or confirm the battery. Its done 97km. Is there a way I can get this tested? A replacement battery looks around $2k.

Hi it sounds like you have found a good choice. You may need to request that the battery is assessed by Toyota to confirm its state of health.
