    I'm preparing to purchase preowned 2014 Toyota Prius V three tomorrow (Dec 28th 2017).

    Mileage : 106,000 miles
    one owner
    Previous Owner: Goverment owned

    Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I should ask or test at the Toyota Dealership before I sign the purchase agreement papers ?
    Is there a reading or test that a Toyota Dealership can test and I can read to make sure the Lithium Battery is strong, good or weak ?

    Thanks for any help.

    If you're in the States, the Prius v uses a NiMH battery located beneath the cargo floor. (European and Japanese models with 7 seats are the ones with the Li-Ion battery between the front seats, under the centre console but the US never got that version).
