Vehicle has major accident/fire/water damage or major defects in power battery components (structural/reinforcing/covering parts), repaired or unrepaired, still affecting body structural integrity or safe use, with hidden fault risks.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts undamaged, covering parts damaged, hinges abnormal. Battery inspection: power battery box floor has dents and scratches. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 1 replacement, 2 sheet metal repairs, 4 paint jobs. Interior: most features normal, airbag, seatbelt, dashboard, instruments, and lights normal. Startup inspection: main components normal. Tool kit: absent.
If the system reports "storage card error," we will consider it as damage or loss of the original owner's personal items, and the platform will not provide a new high-speed TF card for free; the buyer must purchase a replacement after arriving at the port.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals, making it a target for theft. During chassis inspection, we check if the welding points of the catalytic converter are in their original state. Once verified, the vehicle will be sealed after being handed over to port logistics to prevent disassembly and resale.
Battery health is the single biggest risk when buying a used Chinese EV remotely. Ask for a battery report showing state of health (SOH) and cell voltage balance from the car's BMS or a diagnostic scan — anything below 85% SOH deserves a price reduction or a pass. Check fast-charge counts and whether the pack has warranty remaining; many Chinese EVs carry 8-year/150,000 km battery warranties that may or may not transfer. Verify real-world range from energy consumption history rather than the dashboard estimate. Also confirm the on-board charger works with your country's voltage, and ask whether the connected app and OTA updates will remain accessible in your region before you pay.
