Vehicle condition meets standards, passed inspection, good condition, 2 claims filed, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 12 years old, with an average annual mileage of 12,000 kilometers. It has a low frequency of daily use and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good first-hand vehicle. There may be obvious signs of wear and tear on the exterior. The interior shows obvious signs of use or dirt. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few abnormal issues. The power system is operating normally.
We will use a megohmmeter (insulation resistance tester) to measure the insulation resistance of the high-voltage bus. If the resistance value is below the national safety standard, it indicates a risk of leakage, and the vehicle will be deemed unqualified.
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 thoroughly rule them out by checking if the cabin wiring harness is melted, if the seat belts have water stains or mold, if there is unusual rust or debris in the seat tracks and cigarette lighter, and by verifying with the insurance company for any "total loss claims." These two types of cars are an absolute sales ban for us.
