Exterior
I noted that the front bumper is slightly misaligned, and it's worth mentioning that the exterior of the vehicle was wet during the inspection, which can obscure minor imperfections. There are minor miscellaneous scratches around the vehicle, typical for its mileage, with most being too small to see in photos. I observed strong chips on the front bumper, and the underside reveals areas of surface rust, as depicted in the pictures. The front tires have a minimum tread depth of 5/32, while the rear tires need replacement as they have a tread depth of 4/32. I also observed curb rash on all wheels. On a positive note, I saw no dents, and the overall paint condition appears good considering the age and mileage of the vehicle. The wipers and exterior lights are functional.
Interior
I observed wear on the steering wheel and moderate wear on the seats. The interior requires detailing or cleaning, and the center console displays signs of wear, including fading buttons. The dash also shows wear. However, I saw that the seats were clean, with no tears or rips. The door panels and interior trim reflect the age and mileage of the vehicle. There were no signs of smoke or unusual odors. The interior electronics and climate controls operated as expected. Additionally, the windows, locks, and mirrors functioned properly, and the gauges were in working order.
Mechanical
I saw that the engine coolant level is low, and there are no apparent external coolant leaks. It is advisable to top off the system and conduct a pressure test to check for potential internal or external leaks. The engine oil is dirty and requires changing. While the exhaust shows some surface rust, there are currently no leaks, and it sounds good. A comprehensive inspection of the vehicle's mechanical components revealed no signs of leaks or seepages underneath.
Test Drive
I hooked up my Scan Tool to the computer system and did not detect any error codes. The engine had a good deal of power and there were no misfires or smoking. I noted that the steering was responsive, and the suspension felt firm, resulting in good handling of the vehicle. The brakes exhibited firmness, with no noticeable pulsation.
