very good
This 2018 Prado 3.5L automatic TX-L with rear-mounted spare tire was first registered in July 2019 and currently has 87,000 kilometers on the odometer. Features include tire pressure monitoring, ISOFIX child seat anchors, cruise control, keyless start and entry. The exterior is in its original paint condition with a perfect finish; the interior is clean, and the infotainment system functions normally. The engine and transmission run smoothly, the chassis is tight, and the vehicle is in excellent condition. It's a one-owner vehicle with no off-road history and third-party inspections are welcome. Test drives are available!
We use two steps: 1. Insert a medical-grade endoscope through the spark plug hole to visually inspect cylinder wall scratches and carbon buildup on the piston top; 2. Extract an engine oil sample to check for large metal debris or emulsification (caused by coolant leakage).
We maintain an absolute skeptical attitude. In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.
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.
