Thanks for all your replies and wisdom guys; it’s really appreciated. I’m holding all goes well a week on Friday when the car goes for a retest. I’ll keep you kind people all posted for sure.

Thank you Bluemarlin & Brain R for your reassurances. Much appreciated to hear.

Thanks for the comment Herbie. So the next two weeks is all about recalibration? Thank goodness as I thought the battery may have been impacted some way

Hi everyone. Im in the UK (just outside of Manchester) and I need a bit of advice please. I’ve put a deposit down on a used LC 300h, 2016 registration and it’s down circa 30k miles. As part of the deal I insisted the car pass a Hybrid health check at Lexus. On Friday, the day befoee I was scheduled to pick up the car I got a call from the independent dealer who’s selling the car, and they were at the Lexus dealer where the health check had just been carried out. It had failed, because the car was sat on their forecourt for 3 months, and they had jump started it a few weeks ago, and apparently the hybrid battery wasn’t charged enough. The Lexus garage said that the remedy was to drive to the car for 500 miles and then repeat the hybrid health check in 2 weeks. So the independent dealer now has the car and is going to drive it over the next two weeks to get to the 500 mile requirement and has booked the re-test for 2 weeks time. What I’d like to know is that has anyone been in this position where they’ve jump started a hybrid and has it caused any issues with the hybrid battery? Does driving it 500 miles really remedy it, or is the battery now damaged/not at its best in any kind of way, due to leaving the car not driven for 3 months and jump starting it? You words of wisdom are appreciated. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance :)
