    I would stop panicking about it.
    Just buy the car, but be prepared if the issue arises.
    My 5008 diesel is used once every 2 weeks at times.
    For 5-10 miles, not good I know.
    It will be 8 in September and only 24k miles on the clock.
    I worry that it will be dead when I need it, one day soon.
    I have a Gooloo GT4000 booster pack, not cheap but would start a bus.
    A trickle charger is no good as no power socket near the car.
    Not used the booster on my car, but friends and neighbours are making good use of it.
