What should I look for when buying a used Honda CR-Z?

I am considering buying a used Honda CR-Z up to five years old and £10k to use as an occasional secondcar. What should I look out for and how will I know if the hybrid battery is knackered?

I don't think this car worked brilliantly either as a hybrid economy car or as a sports car. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-cr-z-2.../ If you want Honda's best ever hybrid, get a classic original Honda Insight coupe. Johny Smith's has done more than 300,000 miles.
