Battery health question

I have a 2015 Gen 1 Volt with about 165k miles on it. It runs great, when fully charged I get 33 miles range on the GOM, I just question long term reliability.

Can someone who is smarter than me take a look at the battery diagnostic and tell me what you see? I ran the battery all the way down to 0 range, (tried to get it to hold at 1 mile, but it dropped from 2 miles of battery range to 0.)

I had the fan on full blast, A/C on, both heated seats on, and rear defroster on, and the radio bumping the bass. So the electric system was definitely under a considerable load.

I think about 80% of original capacity on a 10 year old car, with high mileage pretty good. But what do you guys think? Should I keep it, search for a volt battery repair shop (non-dealership), or just trade it for a different car?
