Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-type damage; passive safety devices defective; vehicle performance (including three-electric system) degraded or performance-limited even after repair.
Accident inspection: main structure undamaged, reinforcing parts damaged, panels undamaged, hinges normal; engine bay: key mechanical components normal; exterior: 2 replaced parts, 1 panel repair, 1 repaint; interior: most functions normal, airbag normal, seatbelt normal, dashboard normal, instrument check normal, lighting system normal; start-up check: main components normal; onboard tools: none.
We use quantitative standards. Minor scratches less than 3 cm that do not reach the base coat (which can be polished) are considered normal wear; scratches over 3 cm deep to the base coat or dents larger than 2 cm in diameter will be highlighted in the inspection report's "Appearance Defect Distribution Map" with close-up photos.
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.
Be sure to purchase cargo insurance (all-risk or water damage insurance). In case of damage, claim with the bill of lading, insurance policy, and proof of damage at the destination port.
