Vehicle has major accident/fire/flood damage or major defects in power battery components involving structural, reinforced, or cover parts. Repaired or unrepaired, still affects body structural strength or safe use, with hidden fault risks.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforced parts undamaged, cover parts damaged, hinges normal. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 4 areas of sheet metal repair. Interior: most features normal, airbags normal, seatbelts normal, dashboard normal, instrument readings normal, lighting system normal. Startup check: main components normal. Onboard tools: none.
Under CIF terms, the beneficiary of the insurance policy will be endorsed to the buyer. Once the claim is successful, the insurance company's foreign currency compensation will be directly deposited into the buyer's designated overseas company or personal account.
Rust is one of the most underestimated problems in remote buying. Request specific evidence: photos of the underbody, wheel arches, door sills, and around the windshield seal; close-ups of suspension mounting points; and ideally paint thickness readings across panels (factory paint is typically 80-120μm; heavy patches suggest bodywork). Northern Chinese cars may have winter road-salt corrosion; coastal cars can show surface rust on exposed metal. Surface rust on exhaust and bolts is normal—structural rust on frame rails, subframes, or brake lines is a deal-breaker, especially if the car is headed to a humid or coastal market. Have the inspector tap suspicious areas during the video call: flaky or bubbling metal sounds hollow. Walk away if the seller refuses underbody photos.
We can only infer from the existing connected maintenance records. If the records show continuity and adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule, we will assign a high credit score; if there are gaps of tens of thousands of kilometers, we will assume it was not well maintained during that period and alert you.
