Hybrid cars are outstanding at saving fuel, but when the high-voltage (HV) battery starts failing, a WOF is due, or a dashboard lights up with hybrid system warnings, owners face a tough question: scrap it or trade it in? At Taha Auto Group, we help Kiwis make the right call—fast, fair, and with zero hassle. Below is a practical checklist to decide what’s best for your hybrid in Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Christchurch, and across NZ.
Quick Answer
Trade it in if your hybrid drives well, passes WOF, has no major faults, and the HV battery is healthy (or recently replaced).
Scrap it if the battery is failing, there’s major damage or compliance issues, repair costs exceed value, or you want instant cash with same-day free towing.
