The vehicle is a 2017 Honda HR-V with 120,000 km on the odometer and has been transferred once. The left front fender has been replaced, while the rest of the vehicle is original. It has been involved in water exposure. The insurance and inspection are valid until January 2027. The exterior and interior are in good condition, and the engine and transmission are functioning well.
This is a common issue with sea transport. If the vehicle is parked at a humid dock, the EPB can easily rust to the brake disc. In addition to testing its release before shipping, we try to ask dock workers to secure the wheels with chocks instead of fully engaging the electronic parking brake.

In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.
