This vehicle has been inspected and confirmed to be free of major accident damage, water damage, and fire damage. Minor scratches on the exterior, clean interior with normal wear, no damage to the frame, normal engine wear, smooth gear shifting, and all electrical fluids are in good condition.
Yes. Due to the significant difficulty in extinguishing lithium battery fires, insurance companies typically charge 20%-40% higher rates for comprehensive coverage on used EVs compared to ICE vehicles. Additionally, the absolute deductible for minor scratches on the body will also be increased accordingly.
We will remove the chassis guard to physically inspect the battery pack's lower shell for serious dents or scratches, and check for signs of mud or sand intrusion in the waterproof vent at the edge of the battery pack.
A proper inspection relies on equipment, not just eyes. The inspector should use a paint thickness gauge to measure 50-60 points across body panels; original paint is typically 80-150 microns. An OBD diagnostic scanner reads stored and pending fault codes across all control units, and for EVs it also reads battery state of health and charge cycle counts. The car must go on a lift for the underbody check: frame rails, suspension components, oil leaks and accident repair marks are only visible from below. A battery tester checks starting voltage and charging system health, and a tread depth gauge documents tire condition. Ask for the report to include raw readings and dated photos rather than a simple pass/fail summary - that is what makes it verifiable.
