This car is 11 years old, with an average annual mileage of 17,200 kilometers, typical of normal family daily use. It has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good first-hand car. 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.
We will never perform blind deep disassembly unless there are clear severe fault codes or extreme noises. The sealing of the engine and transmission is crucial, and compromising the factory seals to investigate non-existent issues is unprofessional. We rely on data flow and external acoustic and fluid analysis to make judgments.
Many car owners do not have their first maintenance done at authorized dealerships, leading to gaps in early data. In such cases, we do not blindly trust the odometer; instead, we analyze the tire production dates and wear levels, as well as the depth of grooves on the brake disc edges, using the "gold standard" of physical wear to infer the intensity of early use.
Most models adjust through the central control screen menu, while a few models (like some BYD or MG) retain physical levers or paddles on the center console or steering wheel. We will check if the drag feel when the system engages is linearly normal.
