Localized body damage or repair marks present. No accident-related damage or repairs to structural or reinforcement components. Vehicle performance (including three-electric system) has degraded or is limited.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcement components undamaged, cover panels damaged, hinges normal. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 1 panel repair, 1 repaint. Interior: modified interior (other), most features normal, airbag system normal, lighting system normal. Startup test: major components normal. Tool kit: absent.
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.
Absolutely not. The aging and cracking of rubber parts are inevitable over time and are a normal manifestation of vehicle depreciation. Our compensation only covers sudden and catastrophic mechanical failures, such as engine cylinder scoring or transmission gear breakage.
Start with the paperwork: the vehicle registration certificate lists every ownership transfer, and the service book plus dealer maintenance records help confirm mileage. For digital verification, ask the seller for a live video walkaround plus a diagnostic scan report showing the ECU-recorded mileage, which is hard to manipulate. For EVs, request a battery state-of-health (SOH) report — it reveals real usage patterns far better than the odometer. Finally, a pre-shipment inspection by a third party should include structural checks (pillars, chassis rails) to rule out accident repairs. Build "no major accident, no flood or fire damage" into your purchase contract with a refund clause if the inspection contradicts it.
