Vehicle condition meets standards; 0 claims; 1 ownership transfer.
This vehicle is 7 years old, with an average annual mileage of 10,800 kilometers. It has been used infrequently and has only been transferred once, which is relatively few times. The overall exterior condition is excellent, with no scratches on the wheels and no damage to the glass. There are no signs of repainting on up to four sides of the exterior metal panels, but no parts have been disassembled or replaced. The steering wheel and buttons are free of wear, and the interior and seats are clean and new with no odor. All features and functions are in good working order. The vehicle frame is undamaged and has not been repaired. The powertrain is functioning well without any repairs. There have been no major modifications.
All vehicles on the lift must be inspected. We will provide high-definition close-up photos of the chassis directly below, suspension components, and the mid to rear section of the exhaust. We will honestly show any minor surface rust (a common phenomenon in cast iron); if we find bent longitudinal beams or extensive through-corrosion, the vehicle will be scrapped and not exported.
A proper inspection relies on equipment, not just eyes. The inspector should use a paint thickness gauge to measure 50-60 points across body panels; original paint is typically 80-150 microns. An OBD diagnostic scanner reads stored and pending fault codes across all control units, and for EVs it also reads battery state of health and charge cycle counts. The car must go on a lift for the underbody check: frame rails, suspension components, oil leaks and accident repair marks are only visible from below. A battery tester checks starting voltage and charging system health, and a tread depth gauge documents tire condition. Ask for the report to include raw readings and dated photos rather than a simple pass/fail summary - that is what makes it verifiable.
We will use a megohmmeter (insulation resistance tester) to measure the insulation resistance of the high-voltage bus. If the resistance value is below the national safety standard, it indicates a risk of leakage, and the vehicle will be deemed unqualified.
