The inspector states this car is mainly for daily commuting, regularly maintained, with clean exterior and interior, no obvious issues with the chassis or powertrain. It's a high-value used car. Owner says...
Definitely. Lifting the chassis is a mandatory part of our standards. The report will specifically show whether there are oil stains on the front and rear shock absorber cylinders, if the rubber boots of the lower control arm ball joints are torn, and if the steering tie rods are loose or deformed.
Odometer fraud exists everywhere, but cross-checking several data points makes it hard to fake: 1) Maintenance records: ask for service history with mileage entries. Gaps or resets are red flags. 2) Tire wear: a car showing 30,000 km should not have nearly bald tires. Compare tread depth against the claimed mileage. 3) Pedals, steering wheel, and seat bolsters: heavy wear on these with low odometer readings is a classic mismatch. 4) Diagnostic scan: request an OBD readout. Many control modules store mileage data internally — if the ECU shows 120,000 km while the dash shows 40,000, you have your answer. 5) Vehicle history report: in China, apps and platforms can pull insurance claim records and registration history, which often reveal the true mileage trail. Always request a live video showing the odometer with the engine running, and have the number written into your contract.
100% guaranteed. This is the legal prerequisite for the export of used cars allowed by Chinese customs and the Ministry of Commerce. Any vehicle with unresolved traffic violations (fines/demerits) cannot complete the deregistration process at the traffic management bureau, and therefore cannot obtain a legal export license.
