Localized body damage or repair marks present. No accident-related damage or repairs to structural or reinforcement components. Vehicle performance (including three-electric system) has degraded or is limited.
Accident inspection: main structure undamaged, reinforcement components undamaged, cover panels damaged, hinges normal. Engine bay inspection: key mechanical components in engine compartment normal. Exterior: 1 area of sheet metal repair. Interior: most features normal, airbag system normal, seatbelts normal, dashboard normal, instrument readings normal, lighting system normal. Startup inspection: major components normal. Onboard tools: none.
Maintain objective expectations. Vehicles over 5 years old inevitably show signs of decreased paint gloss, slight aging of rubber seals, irreversible patina on interiors, and surface rust on chassis components. As long as core structure and mechanical failures are not involved, these are normal depreciation characteristics over time.
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.
We will provide the transfer record from the vehicle registration certificate. A high number of transfers does not necessarily indicate poor condition (for example, internal transfers within a family for quota purposes), but we will consider it a risk factor and conduct a more thorough physical inspection to verify its actual condition.
