Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-related damage; passive safety devices are defective; vehicle performance (including three-electric system) is degraded or remains performance-limited after repair.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts undamaged, panels damaged, hinges normal; engine bay: key mechanical components normal; exterior: none; interior: most functions normal, airbag check normal, seatbelts normal, dashboard normal, instrument check normal, lighting system normal; start-up check: main components normal; on-board tools: none.
Maintain objective expectations. Vehicles over 5 years old inevitably show signs of decreased paint gloss, slight aging of rubber seals, irreversible patina on interiors, and surface rust on chassis components. As long as core structure and mechanical failures are not involved, these are normal depreciation characteristics over time.
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.
Many car owners do not have their first maintenance done at authorized dealerships, leading to gaps in early data. In such cases, we do not blindly trust the odometer; instead, we analyze the tire production dates and wear levels, as well as the depth of grooves on the brake disc edges, using the "gold standard" of physical wear to infer the intensity of early use.
