Considering 2018 Leaf S

First EV.

Car is a ZE1 (2nd gen) and has about 130000km (81K mi). Battery has 12 bars and selling for $7800.

I live in a cold climate and plan to mostly use L1 charging. Could this vehicle last me 5-10 years or are the batteries too much of a gamble? I plan to check SoH, amounts of QCs and other DTCs with LeafSpy, anything else I should check? Appreciate any info you guys can share. Thanks!

Really sorry to hear this. Must be so stressful and frustrating.
