What is this car’s battery worth?

Remaining warranty, expected state of health, battery lease and cost of a failure. All at once — and nothing you enter leaves your browser.

We check, we don’t certify. The date of first registration is shown in box B of the V5C logbook. The state of health given is a range calculated from the battery’s age, mileage and chemistry: only a measurement on the vehicle gives a figure.

Battery versions of the Opel Combo-e

A model sold over several years does not have the same battery from start to finish, and two versions are often sold side by side. Identify yours: capacity and chemistry change the range, the expected degradation and the cost of a replacement.

The expected state of health of a Opel Combo-e battery

Three model years of this car, at the average French annual mileage of 9,321 miles, each with its chemistry. These ranges describe where a comparable battery usually sits, not yours: use, climate and charging habits spread the fleet widely.

  • 2021 model year83 to 92%5 years, 46,603 miles, chemistry not recorded
  • 2024 model year91 to 97%2 years, 18,641 miles, chemistry not recorded
  • 2026 model year98 to 100%under a year, chemistry not recorded

For a figure rather than a range, you need a measurement on the car. What state of health means and how it is measured.

What the energy costs per 100 miles

Charged at home, a Opel Combo-e uses between £7.62 and £11.22 of electricity per 100 miles.

By comparison, a recent petrol car averages 38.7 mpg (7.3 L/100 km) in real-world use: about £20.30 of fuel per 100 miles, at the average price of unleaded petrol (£1.728 per litre on 2 November 2026).

Bottom of the range: the WLTP official consumption, from 2.9 to 3.5 miles/kWh depending on the version. Top: 25% more, the measured gap between official figures and real-world use. Electricity at £0.2632 per kWh, the Ofgem price cap.

Charging at a public charge point: prices vary too much from one operator to another to be given here.

Charging at home: a night on a plug

Plugged in for 8 hours on a 3-pin plug, a Opel Combo-e adds between 45 and 65 miles; on a 16 A commando socket, between 70 and 100 miles, depending on the version and how it is driven.

The Opel Combo-e battery

Sold since 2021, with a pack of about 50 kWh.

The Opel Combo-e pack can be repaired module by module. When only one module is at fault, the repair costs far less than a new pack.
