hi all,
I'm in the market for a used Leaf and for the past while have been reading posts about what to look for when using LeafSpy to look at the health of a Leaf's battery.
Today I took a test drive of a very low mileage Leaf: a 2015 SL with only 10,600 miles on it. Before the test drive I popped on the ODB2 device and fired up LeafSpy. But given the low mileage I was a bit surprised at what I saw and was wondering if anyone could comment on it.
here is a link to see the photo:

I guess I was surprised to see SOH at 86%, Hx at 76.85% and AHr at 53. Do those numbers not seem greatly diminished for only 11K miles?
For total charges, it is showing only 20 quick charges and 268 L1/L2s. Does that sounds like a BMS reset?
Assuming the car has been owned for 3 years, it means the owner charged it only once every ~4 days which seems a bit crazy (although maybe that's why so low mileage?)
For context the car was bought and owned in Palo Alto. So summers can be warm, but not smoking hot for months on end.
Anyhow, while it looked like a screaming deal the CarFax showed it had been in an accident so I took a pass for now.
Curious to hear what you all make of the battery info though.
thanks
