[Accident, Water Damage, Failed Inspection] [Team] External Expansion Group 1 [Vehicle Configuration] Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS 2021 290TGDI DCT Luxury Edition [Last 6 Digits of VIN] 233799 [Registration Date] January 2021 [Registration Location] Guizhou [Vehicle Status] Financing [Mileage] 8.68 [Vehicle Color] Purple [Interior Color] Black [Insurance Date] Expired [Number of Ownership Transfers] 0 [Exterior Paint Finish] 6 [Vehicle Condition Description] Rear hatch and right doors have been repainted. Front beam replaced; left front beam head deformed and unrepaired. Water entered the left side; the cavity contains mud and sand.
As long as the scratches do not damage the aluminum battery pack casing and do not cause structural dents in the crash beam, we will document it in the inspection report as "Surface Scuff" and no replacement will be made.
Based on practical risk assessment, we strongly recommend setting aside 3% to 5% of the car price as a buffer fund for even the highest-rated used cars, to cover oil changes, new tires, minor shipping scratches, and local inspection labor costs.
The technician will start the vehicle and turn on the air conditioning system, measuring the actual temperature at the vents at the lowest and highest settings with a thermometer; at the same time, they will connect a manifold pressure gauge to check if the refrigerant pressure in the high and low pressure lines is within the normal range, determining if there is a chronic refrigerant leak.
