Vehicle in good condition, passed inspection, excellent condition, 1 claim filed, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 10 years old, with an average annual mileage of 10,000 kilometers. It has a low frequency of daily use and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good first-hand vehicle. The exterior paint is in good condition, although there may be a few minor marks. The interior is in good condition, with normal signs of use on the surface. The overall body frame is intact and without any abnormalities. The fluids are normal, and the power system is functioning well.
If the car has been maintained at an authorized dealer, we can extract the desensitized official maintenance history (including entry time, mileage, and maintenance items) through a paid third-party data provider and provide it to you. If some year records are missing, we will honestly inform you that the "records are incomplete."
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.
As rubber seals age, "slight oil seepage (oil stains but no dripping)" is very common in used cars and is not considered a major fault. Our recommendation is: as long as the oil level does not drop abnormally, just clean and monitor it regularly after arrival, without the need to immediately incur high costs to disassemble and replace the seals.
