This vehicle appears to be in working order. However upon closer inspection there are issues to note.
Exterior
There are misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. The underside shows areas of surface rust. See pictures. The front bumper has scratches and rock chips. The exterior lights were working. The vehicle panel alignment looked good with no visible signs of repairs or collisions found during inspection.
Interior
There is light wear to the seats. Normal for mileage. The radio display is inoperable. The inner door panels show wear consistent with age and mileage. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The carpet shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The floor mats are dirty. The bed of the vehicle has a liner, this can hide any imperfections. The climate controls were working as designed. The heat was hot and the air was cold.

The exhaust shows some surface rust throughout, but at this time has no leaks and sounds good. The engine area looked good. The accessible fluids were at the appropriate levels and the condition of the fluids looked good. The drive belt and hoses looked good. The front end and suspension are in good condition. The struts, springs, axle shafts, CV joints and rear suspension components look good.
Road Test
The check engine light was not illuminated on the dash, however when I plugged in my scan tool there was a code (P0135) present, see pictures for more information. Further diagnosis is required. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or smoking. The transmission worked as designed. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. There were no visible leaks found to the underside of the vehicle. The wheels show signs of scratches. The tires are brand matching and have usable tread on them.
