Vehicle in good condition, passed inspection, meets standards, 1 claim, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 7 years old, with an average annual mileage of 7,200 kilometers. It has been used infrequently 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 scratches. The interior is in good condition, with normal signs of use. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few minor abnormalities. The fluid levels are normal, and the powertrain is functioning well.
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.
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.
Test-drive cars experience much more mechanical wear due to extreme conditions like cold starts and emergency braking compared to regular family cars. We can identify this by tracing whether the first owner was a 4S dealership or the manufacturer. If so, we will reassess its value based on "operational intensity" standards.
