I love this car and have asked for a quote to buy from the lease company (£41k).
My question is, will it be worth it? How long should I expect a T8 to last if I choose to keep it until its demise? I'd never ordinarily consider buying a hybrid personally (I had it for the low BiK) because we don't know much about the battery life, but this is my baby!
I'm only doing around 8,000 miles per year.
Thanks.

battery is warranted for 8 years .. but looking back in history will last longer .. there are battery reconditioning companies now and even volvo are having a reconditioning dealer in every region by the time it becomes necessary .
There will be companies who will replace bearings in motors and rewind them if they burn out .
Any more serious problem is going to cost a lot though . same with any electric vehicle ..... less to go wrong mechanically but more high voltage electronic units .
