The 545e's 11.6-12 kWh lithium-ion batterytypically degrades over time. Early warning signs include reduced electric range (less than the original 33-35 miles),the engine engaging more frequently than expected,slight hesitation during acceleration, and cooling fans running longer after shutdown.Warning lights on the dashboard may indicate battery management system faults.

This depends entirely on the car's condition and value. A G30 545e (2020-2023) typically holds £18,000-£35,000 value depending on mileage and specification. A rebuilt B58 engine at £5,500-£8,000 is typically justifiable if the car is otherwise well-maintained. However, if the car has significant body damage, suspension issues, or a degraded hybrid battery requiring replacement, evaluate the total repair cost against the vehicle's value.

• £15k-£20k 545e: reconditioned engine is viable if keeping the car 2+ years
• £20k+ 545e: rebuilt engine with warranty usually makes financial sense
