Vehicle in excellent condition, passed inspection, better than 80% of vehicles for sale, excellent condition, 2 claims filed, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 8 years old, with an average annual mileage of 4,500 kilometers. It has been used very infrequently and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a first-hand vehicle. The exterior is in excellent condition, with a glossy paint finish but some minor scratches. The interior is clean and tidy, with minor signs of use. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few minor issues. Fluids are normal, and the powertrain operates smoothly without any abnormalities.
During the stationary steering test, the technician will check the smoothness of the steering wheel from full left to full right, looking for any unusual noises from the steering gear; they will also inspect the hydraulic power steering pump (if present) and the seals of the steering column for any hydraulic fluid leakage.
This is a key legal issue. If the inspection is conducted by a third party appointed by us, we will be the primary responsible party and provide limited compensation to you, after which we will seek reimbursement from the inspection agency; if the inspection agency is designated by you personally (such as SGS), you will need to file a claim directly with that agency according to its service terms.
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.
