I'm planning to purchase a used Leaf soon. Probably a 2012 with 15 or 20k miles on it. If I check out a car with Leaf Spy, what should I look for? Is that any better than making sure it still has 12 capacity bars?
 
The bars are too coarse, especially the first one. LeafSpy will tell you the exact SOH. Even if the Leaf has all 12 bars, it still might have lost 14.99% capacity.

The key variable is the Ahr (ampere-hour) capacity of the battery. At 15-20K miles the battery should have
more than 53-54 Ahrs. This will provide a range of about 65-70 miles, which obviously depends on how one
drives.
