Heavy-use vehicles often look clean in photos but show specific wear patterns. Here's what to check: 1. Rear sag and suspension: ask for a side-profile photo of the car on level ground. If the rear sits noticeably lower than the front, the rear springs or shocks may be worn from constant heavy loads. Compare with factory ride height specs. 2. Pedal and seat wear: accelerator and brake pedals with polished metal patches, and a driver's seat bolster that is flattened or cracked, indicate high mileage or intensive commercial use — even if the odometer says otherwise. 3. Hitch and tow bar marks: check the rear bumper area in close-up photos for scratches, bolt holes, or a removed tow bar mount. Ask the seller directly whether the car ever towed. 4. Underbody and frame: request underbody photos. Look for bent or scraped crossmembers, fresh undercoating hiding damage, or uneven tire wear across the rear axle. 5. Data check: many ride-hailing cars in China have records in maintenance databases — a professional inspection agency can flag cars with commercial fleet history. If the seller refuses underbody or close-up photos, treat it as a warning sign and consider another vehicle.

As rubber seals age, "slight oil seepage (oil stains but no dripping)" is very common in used cars and is not considered a major fault. Our recommendation is: as long as the oil level does not drop abnormally, just clean and monitor it regularly after arrival, without the need to immediately incur high costs to disassemble and replace the seals.

Countries like Kenya typically require the First Registration Date to be within a specific timeframe. We will provide a notarized copy of the Vehicle Registration Certificate, along with an English translation, as absolute legal evidence.
