The odometer reads over 80,000 kilometers. It has full-time four-wheel drive. One door has been replaced, and the lower left door sill has bodywork that failed inspection.
It usually refers to very small stone chips on the hood from high-speed driving, nail scratches on the inside of door handles, slight curb scratches on the edges of wheels, and minor wear on interior plastic parts. These do not affect the vehicle's functionality or corrosion resistance.
Yes. For hybrid vehicles, technicians will conduct forced switching tests between EV (electric) and HEV (hybrid) modes, focusing on the sensation of clutch engagement and reading the hybrid system's specific fault codes to ensure the complex dual power system operates correctly.
SOH (State of Health) measures the battery's remaining capacity as a percentage of its original capacity. Two EVs with the same mileage can have very different SOH depending on charging habits and climate exposure, and since the battery represents 30-50% of a used EV's value, the SOH number is effectively the real price tag. A proper certificate includes current SOH percentage, cell voltage balance, charge cycle counts, battery management system fault codes, and often a projected range estimate. In hot-climate markets like the Gulf, a degraded battery degrades even faster, so a documented SOH above 85-90% is strongly recommended. Exporters who provide verified SOH certificates close deals faster and command better prices, so treat the certificate as a core purchase document, not an extra.
