Exterior
There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. The exterior of the vehicle was dusty at time of inspection. This can hide minor imperfections. The front end paint protective film scratched, See picture 42. There is a ding and scratches on the door of passenger rear, See picture 110. The paint shows some wear and tear that is consistent with age and mileage. There is a clear coat paint protective film on the front end of the vehicle. I noticed some very minor surface rust on a few of the undercarriage bolts. I also observed brown stains on the undercarriage of the vehicle, which appear to be from muddy water. See the pictures. The side moldings on both sides show minor nicks and chips. The windshield was dirty/would not fully clean with wiper fluid at time of inspection and needs a thorough cleaning to see any potential imperfections. Window trim and door seals were sound. Headlights and tail lights were clear and free of obvious cracks or other damage. Panel gaps and shut lines appeared to be normal. The vehicle is equipped with correctly sized tires, and all four tires have an adequate amount of remaining tread depth. Tire brands are matched.

Interior
There is light wear to the seats. Normal for mileage. The driver rear seat belt buckle is stuck underneath of the seat. See pictures 25. 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. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors. The climate control and infotainment systems were observed to function properly. Windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges operated properly during the inspection.

Mechanical
The engine oil is dirty and should be changed. The rear differential is seeping fluid, Further diagnosis is needed. See pictures. Exhaust shows some surface rust, but at this time has no leaks and sounds good. Hoses and belts appeared to be sound. Inspection underneath the vehicle found all splash guards and protective panels in place

Road Test
The steering wheel is slightly off center when driving down the roadway, Further diagnosis is needed. No error codes were detected after connecting my computer and conducting a scan. The vehicle braked well and I did not detect any odd noises or vibrations during the inspection.
