Has the vehicle's VIN (chassis number) been polished or altered?
We will carefully check if the chassis number on the windshield, chassis, and door frame matches.
Original paint throughout; large insurance claim.

The battery pack is 30–50% of an EV's value, so its inspection should be the most detailed part of the pre-shipment check. Require these items: 1. BMS data readout: state of health (SOH), full-charge voltage, cell voltage deviation, cycle count, and fast-charging percentage. SOH above 90% is good; below 80% means a costly pack replacement is approaching. 2. Physical inspection: check the underbody for pack dents, coolant leaks from the battery cooling circuit, and corrosion on high-voltage connectors. 3. Range test: a real drive of at least 30–50 km, comparing energy consumption against the rated figure. A pack with poor cells overheats and depletes fast. 4. Charging test: verify both AC and DC charging work, and record charging speed and any error messages. Get the raw diagnostic data, not just a summary. If the inspector won't share the BMS report, assume the battery is the reason why.
All our measuring instruments (especially calipers, paint thickness gauges, and refrigerant pressure gauges) are calibrated quarterly according to ISO quality management system requirements to ensure the data we provide you is objective, accurate, and reliable.
