Vehicle condition meets standards; 0 claims; 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 9 years old, with an average annual mileage of 1,400 kilometers. It has been used very infrequently and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a first-hand vehicle. The overall exterior condition is excellent, with no scratches on the wheels, no damage to the glass, and no repainting on the metal body panels. There has been no disassembly or replacement of any parts on the exterior. The steering wheel and buttons have minor wear, as do the seats and interior trim. There is no odor inside the vehicle, and all features and functions are in good working order. The vehicle's frame has no damage or repairs. The powertrain is functioning well without any repairs. There have been no major modifications.
This is considered a force majeure risk. We will require the vehicle's state of charge (SOC) to be maintained in a safe dormant range of 30%-50% before loading, and we will insure you for all marine risks under CIF terms. If the battery suffers thermal runaway total loss due to abnormal cargo hold temperatures, the insurance company will compensate.
Many connected features are tied to the car's original market. Start with the basics: the infotainment language, navigation maps and voice assistant may only support Chinese, and some systems require a local SIM or account that cannot be transferred to overseas owners. For driver-assistance systems, check whether the model relies on hardware that works without Chinese map data. Lane keeping and adaptive cruise usually work abroad, but map-dependent features like highway pilot may not. Ask the seller to test each key function on video before shipment: boot-up, touchscreen response, app connectivity and over-the-air update status. Also confirm the battery management system and motor controllers have no region locks. Get written confirmation that the features you are paying for are functional in your destination country, and keep that document with the purchase contract.
If insurance claims records are accessed, there will usually be notes like "the insured vehicle is fully responsible for hitting a fixed object" or "third-party liability insurance payment." We can roughly reconstruct the accident scene based on this and cross-verify the stress points on the vehicle's frame with paint thickness gauge data.
