Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-type damage; passive safety devices are defective; vehicle performance (including three-electric system) is degraded or remains performance-limited after repair.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts undamaged, panels undamaged, hinges normal; engine bay: key mechanical components normal; exterior: 4 sheet metal repairs, 2 paint repairs; interior: left front door trim panel damaged, right front seat damaged, most features normal, airbag system normal, lighting system normal; start-up inspection: main components normal; tools: spare tire present.
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.
Testing is mandatory. Troubleshooting electrical devices in the car is part of the standard procedure. We will test the window lift motors, mirror folding, air conditioning compressor and fan, electric seat tracks, etc. Any stuttering or failure of electronic components will be recorded.
As long as the scratches do not damage the aluminum battery pack casing and do not cause structural dents in the crash beam, we will document it in the inspection report as "Surface Scuff" and no replacement will be made.
