But if you zoom in the picture 7/12 it's showing a low/bad IMA indicator.
So the IMA battery is tired, which makes sense because it has been replaced in 2018, 4 years ago.
This one won't last long. Heck, I'd fly out myself if I were in the market. Pretty rare example these days. I'd check the compression and away I'd drive, all the way to VA

I don't see the IMA light? It should be in the bottom right, correct?
Only lights I see are:
Maint. Reqd. = Needs oil change, reset, or bad trip button
SRS Airbag light = Not sure why this is on. Wet seatbelt?
Seatbelt light = Seatbelt isn't fastened
Brake light = Handbrake is on
I don't think the battery would be shot being only four years old as long as the car was driven, right?
You make a good point. I've had my SoC indicator below 50% fairly often as well, just depends on how much city driving or "racecar-ing" I've been doing. Hard to tell from a static image what the battery health is, but good thing to consider nonetheless.
I don't see the battery indicator light as having anything to do with quality of the battery. I indicates the level of charge in the battery which has to vary if the dc motor is used.
