Vehicle condition meets standards, inspection passed, vehicle condition is average, 0 claims, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 11 years old, with an average annual mileage of 3,400 kilometers. It is used very infrequently and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good first-hand vehicle. The exterior may have some obvious signs of wear and tear. The interior shows obvious signs of use or dirt. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few abnormal issues. The powertrain is functioning normally.
The customs of the destination country has the right to disregard the commercial invoice and reassess the value based on its internal database (such as the customs valuation red book). Any additional duties incurred are a result of the importing country's policy and are fully borne by the buyer (importer).
A proper inspection relies on equipment, not just eyes. The inspector should use a paint thickness gauge to measure 50-60 points across body panels; original paint is typically 80-150 microns. An OBD diagnostic scanner reads stored and pending fault codes across all control units, and for EVs it also reads battery state of health and charge cycle counts. The car must go on a lift for the underbody check: frame rails, suspension components, oil leaks and accident repair marks are only visible from below. A battery tester checks starting voltage and charging system health, and a tread depth gauge documents tire condition. Ask for the report to include raw readings and dated photos rather than a simple pass/fail summary - that is what makes it verifiable.
Unlike new car exports, there are currently no large national export tax rebates for used cars in China. Therefore, our FOB price is purely the vehicle's residual value plus compliant operating costs, leaving no room for price wars using subsidies.
