Thing is buying a second hand ICE you can prioritize a car with service books and can select one that has all essential oils and fluids changed at intervals that you feel comfortable with.
A BEV- a lot of how much life is in the battery is how it was charged (trickle/mid/fast charging), and how it was charged on the go on long drives (ie 100% hot unhealthy charge, or 75% healthy top up) and how hard it was spanked before recharge- ie 2% or run to 30%.
This will be invisible, the only tangible factors readily available to you would be factors like the age of the car and the kms driven. This is only one third of the story of a BEV and probably and ICE as well.
If I go BEV it will be new, but I will always have ICE.
