Kia ora AA, I am looking into buying a 2011 Honda fit Hybrid. I've done some research, hybrid battery needs to be replaced every 8-10 years, and this car never had battery changed, so likely have one replaced soon?? And what else shall I consider when I buy hybrid car?

Hello yes manufactures tend to give a 8 year 160,000km warranty on hybrid batteries, However they can last quite a bit longer than this. It may pay to do research on who can offer a refurbished battery if your vehicles high voltage battery does fail and what the cost would be.
