Hi. We have recently bought a second hand 2019 40kwh Nissan Leaf Acenta, 66k miles on the clock. Battery state of health = 88.5% as per LeafSpy.
We've been monitoring our battery performance, also recording outdoor temperature (see below).
Our driving is in-town I.e. fair amounts of stop-start in traffic and the odd short stretch on dual carriageway. I'm driving in Eco-mode and using the E-pedal. Minimal use of climate control, radio etc.

Start: 66136 mileage, 41%, 57 miles predicted
Finish: 66149 mileage, 23%, 33 miles predicted
0.72 miles per percent
30/01/2022 (6 degrees)
Start: 66203 mileage, 31%, 45 miles predicted
Finish: 66219 mileage, 16%, 24 miles predicted
1.067 miles per percent

Start: 66219 mileage, 49%, 72 miles predicted
Finish: 66232 mileage, 40%, 59 miles predicted
1.44 miles per percent
02/02/22 (15 deg)
Start: 66232 mileage, 66%, 96 miles predicted
Finish: 66248 mileage, 53% 77 miles predicted
1.23 miles per percent
03/02/22 (8 deg)
Start: 66248 mileage, 53%, 77 miles predicted
Finish: 66258 mileage, 45%, 65 miles predicted
1.25 miles per percent
We are a little surprised at how low the range is when we are driving fairly slowly and efficiently.
1) Is the miles per percentage point what one should expect from a car of this spec?
2) Can anyone with similar vehicle give us some numbers on how temperature affects their range?
3) Is there anything else - short of going to a Nissan garage for diagnostics - that we should look at to better understand the battery's health and performance?
4) We purchased the car <30 days ago - would this performance be considered a "fault" for which we should contact the seller, or speak to Nissan and invoke their battery warranty?
Thanks.
