very good
Exterior: Paintwork is well-maintained; body structure shows no signs of repair; no major accidents. Interior: Clean and tidy. Safety indicator lights are normal; airbags and other passive safety features are functioning correctly; vehicle electronics are in good working order; static and dynamic equipment is complete. Driving: Ignition, starting, acceleration, cornering, deceleration, and braking are all smooth; acceleration is rapid, power output is smooth and comfortable, and there is no idling vibration. The vehicle frame structure shows no deformation or twisting, and no signs of fire or water damage. There are signs of repainting, but the overall paintwork is in good condition, ruling out major accidents. Wide field of vision, suitable for beginners; spacious, bright, and well-ventilated interior, suitable for family use.
Verify if the vehicle model is within the manufacturer's EU certification scope. If not, contact the certification company for single model certification; otherwise, it cannot be registered in Europe.
Start with the paperwork: the vehicle registration certificate lists every ownership transfer, and the service book plus dealer maintenance records help confirm mileage. For digital verification, ask the seller for a live video walkaround plus a diagnostic scan report showing the ECU-recorded mileage, which is hard to manipulate. For EVs, request a battery state-of-health (SOH) report — it reveals real usage patterns far better than the odometer. Finally, a pre-shipment inspection by a third party should include structural checks (pillars, chassis rails) to rule out accident repairs. Build "no major accident, no flood or fire damage" into your purchase contract with a refund clause if the inspection contradicts it.
Basic perception functions (like Adaptive Cruise Control ACC, Lane Keeping Assist LKA, and Automatic Emergency Braking AEB) rely on the vehicle's local radar and cameras, and can operate normally overseas. However, advanced features that heavily depend on high-precision maps and cloud data (like Navigation on Autopilot NOA and Full Self-Driving FSD) cannot be activated overseas.
