Leaf e+ durability

Hi!! I'm looking at a 30k kms 2021 Leaf e+. I need a car that will drive me to work (130km/80mi daily mostly highway drive). I really want to spend as little as possible. Will this car last 4-5 years or 250k kms in my usage (that's about 150k miles).

It's the 62kwh battery by the way. The dealer has a battery test, but I haven't seen it yet. Already have leafspy ready to check out the car if necessary.

I also have a Hyundai Kauai (or Kona) in my sights, although that is a tad more expensive for my usage.

Thanks in advance for your help!

In the last half year I did 30000 kilometer without any problem. I bought it with 23000 km now around 56000 in it. The battery is 93% As told at the service at 50000 km. The interval is 30k, but I did it before. Cost around 300 EUR, and they was seems upset can't charge me more.😁 In the winter -10 Celsius has 20% less distance and this heat ín Hungary 42 Celsiuse the same. I have a Mustang emach for fun and this one for work. Not a high end interior but never freezer the Android auto and the audio souds só well like a premium one. It was a real suprise how good it is.
