What Happened: AVILOO has introduced what it describes as the first independent battery warranty for used electric vehicles in the UK. The warranty combines the company’s battery diagnostics platform with financial protection to improve buyer confidence in the pre-owned EV market.
The Key Number: One-year battery warranty covering up to 20,000 km, with £2,700 compensation if the battery’s State of Health (SoH) falls below the calculated threshold during the warranty period.
Why It Matters: Battery condition remains one of the biggest uncertainties for used EV buyers. An independently verified warranty could improve transparency, strengthen resale values and encourage wider adoption of pre-owned electric vehicles.
The Core News
AVILOO has launched a used EV battery warranty to address one of the biggest concerns in the second-hand electric vehicle market—battery health. The one-year warranty, managed through the AVILOO Connect platform, is backed by the company’s independent battery diagnostics. Buyers can perform an AVILOO FLASH Test during the warranty period, and if the battery’s State of Health falls below the guaranteed threshold within 20,000 km, they receive £2,700 in compensation.
The warranty is based on AVILOO’s proprietary battery diagnostics technology, which calculates a vehicle-specific State of Health instead of using a fixed benchmark. According to the company, the FLASH Test supports around 96% of EV models currently on the road, giving dealers and buyers an independent assessment of battery condition.
The launch comes as the used EV market continues to grow across Europe. AVILOO’s battery testing solutions are already used by several automakers, leasing companies, and auction platforms. By combining battery certification with warranty coverage, the company aims to improve buyer confidence and increase transparency in pre-owned EV transactions.

If independently verified battery warranties become more common, they could improve transparency, reduce concerns around battery degradation, and strengthen confidence in used EV ownership. The initiative may also encourage other battery diagnostics providers and vehicle manufacturers to develop similar solutions as the secondary EV market continues to expand.
