This vehicle is 9 years old, with an average annual mileage of 19,200 kilometers, typical daily family use, and has been transferred three times. The exterior may have noticeable signs of wear and tear; the interior shows obvious signs of use or dirt; the overall body frame is intact, but there are a few abnormal issues; the powertrain is functioning normally.
The technician will put the vehicle in neutral on the lift, rotate the wheels, and listen for any abnormal metal gear whine from inside the motor reducer, and check for gear oil leaks at the joints of the reducer housing.
This is a common issue with sea transport. If the vehicle is parked at a humid dock, the EPB can easily rust to the brake disc. In addition to testing its release before shipping, we try to ask dock workers to secure the wheels with chocks instead of fully engaging the electronic parking brake.
To prevent intermittent failures due to aging of the resistance wire, we will start the engine and set the seat heating/ventilation to maximum for at least 5 minutes, confirming significant temperature changes or airflow output in the cushion and backrest using an infrared thermometer or body sensor.
