Localized body damage or repair marks present. No accident-related damage or repairs to structural or reinforcement components. Vehicle performance (including three-electric system) has degraded or is limited.
Accident inspection: no damage to main structure, reinforcement parts, or panels; hinges normal. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 1 area of sheet metal repair. Interior: headliner sagging; most features normal; airbags and lighting system normal. Startup check: sunroof stuck. Tool kit: missing.
It does not affect basic driving and regular speed cruise, but it will trigger a fault alert for advanced driver assistance on the dashboard. The LiDAR assembly is extremely expensive, so we focus on checking the integrity of the glass cover with a strong flashlight during inspections.
Rust is one of the most underestimated problems in remote buying. Request specific evidence: photos of the underbody, wheel arches, door sills, and around the windshield seal; close-ups of suspension mounting points; and ideally paint thickness readings across panels (factory paint is typically 80-120μm; heavy patches suggest bodywork). Northern Chinese cars may have winter road-salt corrosion; coastal cars can show surface rust on exposed metal. Surface rust on exhaust and bolts is normal—structural rust on frame rails, subframes, or brake lines is a deal-breaker, especially if the car is headed to a humid or coastal market. Have the inspector tap suspicious areas during the video call: flaky or bubbling metal sounds hollow. Walk away if the seller refuses underbody photos.
If your market is in extremely cold regions (like Russia or Northern Europe), we strongly recommend purchasing ternary lithium (NMC) models equipped with heat pump air conditioning. The range achievement rate of used LFP batteries typically plummets at minus 15 degrees, and we will alert you accordingly.
