Q&A

After receiving the car, I found that the 12V battery was dead and couldn't start, or the wiper rubber was aging. Does this count as a quality breach on your part?

No, it does not. International shipping (especially RoRo) usually takes 30 to 60 days, during which the vehicle is stationary. A dead 12V battery, natural tire pressure loss, and even wiper aging due to temperature differences are all reasonable physical wear during long-distance transport. We strongly recommend that overseas buyers bring a portable jump starter and an air pump when picking up their vehicles at the port.

How can I check if a used car from China has been in a major accident, and what records actually exist?

China does not have a single public accident database like CARFAX, but you can still verify history from several sources. First, ask the exporter for the insurance claim records (出险记录). Major repairs go through insurance, and the claim history shows the date, amount, and damaged parts. A car with large claim amounts (over half its value) is effectively a total loss rebuild. Second, check the vehicle's registration certificate (机动车登记证书) for transfer history — multiple transfers in a short period often follow an accident. Third, run a VIN check through commercial platforms (paid, around 20-50 RMB) which aggregate insurance, maintenance, and auction data. Cross-check everything against a physical inspection: paint thickness readings on structural points, weld quality under the seals, and underbody photos. If the records and the physical condition do not match, walk away or demand a large discount.

Before shipping, have all traffic violation records for the vehicle in China been cleared?

100% guaranteed. This is the legal prerequisite for the export of used cars allowed by Chinese customs and the Ministry of Commerce. Any vehicle with unresolved traffic violations (fines/demerits) cannot complete the deregistration process at the traffic management bureau, and therefore cannot obtain a legal export license.
