Is there any risk to buying a bZ Woodland that's been sitting on the lot?

My local dealer has a '26 bZ Woodland that's been sitting for 160 days. Of course, as a deal maker, that's a fantastic opportunity, but since this'll be my first time buying an EV - and with all the hubbub about prior 12V battery issues/drainage/damage - I want to make sure that if I go and buy my new EV, I won't be worse off for buying one that's "old".

What should I be looking out for? Will dealers let the batteries sit and degrade, or will they make sure they're taken care of? Do I need to check battery health?
