I sold my 2011 Leaf with 62,000 miles on it about 7 months after I got a new traction battery to a friend that wanted a used EV. She is retired and wanted one for limited driving around town. Then I moved up to a 2017 Leaf.
The AHr reading for the new battery in my 2011 Leaf was at 66.14 for several months before it started a slow change downward. I don't think you need to do a range test drive. It should give you decent range for a 24 kWh battery, and good regen.
My suggestions to the new owner were:
1). Do a break fluid flush replacement, after driving and getting familiar with the breaking. I had done one three years earlier.
2) keep an eye on the 12v battery. I had already replaced it about a year and a half earlier so it should be good for awhile, but take steps to make sure you don't accidentally drain it down. Occasionally give it an separate charge on a good battery charger.
3) you could also change the cabin air filter if desired.
Enjoy
