Tire
The tires were inspected for tread depth and any unusual wear patterns. All four tires are the same brand, with the front tires having a remaining tread depth of 6/32 and the rear tires at 9/32. Curb rash was also observed on the wheels of the vehicle.
Exterior
There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. The front bumper has scratches to the underside. The windshield has miscellaneous stone chips. The window trim and door seals were in good condition. Both the headlights and tail lights were clear and free of any obvious cracks or other damage. Panel gaps and shut lines appeared to be normal.
Interior
There is light wear to the seats. Normal for mileage. Some areas have wear and tear that caused slight rips plus rear hatch panel has scratches see pictures. There are multiple stains and areas of wear and tear, which have caused the headliner to unglue. See pictures for reference. The climate control and infotainment systems were observed to function properly. All essential features such as windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges operated properly during the inspection. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors.
Mechanical
The mechanical condition of the vehicle has been inspected. During the inspection underneath the vehicle, all original splash guards in the front and rear were found to be intact and secured with the correct fasteners. No abnormalities were noted in visible rubber components such as bushings and axle boots. The lower suspension control arms did not show any visible damage. There were no signs of leaks or seepage. The brake fluid was light in color and at the correct level. Additionally, no unusual service messages were displayed on the screen.
Road Test
During the test drive, power delivery was smooth, and the driveline shift operated as designed. However, there is a noise in the front when turning at a standstill (see video), and when releasing the accelerator from 60 mph, the vehicle feels like it shifts or sways slightly to the left, then immediately straightens out. Further diagnostic work is needed to identify the cause. Additionally, the steering produces a noise when turning fully from right to left, which is documented in the video. There is also a video of the battery fans making noise when they kicked on high during the test drive return.

This report reflects the inspector’s opinion based on a visual evaluation of reasonably accessible, observable conditions at the time of inspection only, together with a road test only if this report states that one was conducted. Vehicles are not placed on a lift or disassembled, and no diagnostic testing or teardown was performed. This inspection report is for information purposes only and is intended as a buying guide, not a mechanical warranty or diagnostic breakdown, and is not to be considered a recommendation for or against the purchase of the inspected vehicle. This report does not address value, title, VIN authenticity, vehicle history, odometer accuracy, open recalls, or emissions or smog compliance, and does not determine eligibility under any lemon law.
A green check mark in the detail section of the inspection report does NOT indicate that the specific components or systems are in good and operating condition under all circumstances. Rather, the check-mark signifies only that, at the time of inspection, the inspector observed the item to be present and noted no visible issue with it and, if a test drive was conducted, noted no issue during that drive, which cannot replicate all driving conditions.
This Inspection Report is governed by the terms and conditions of the order which were accepted by you at the time of placing the order and which are available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms and which contain important information, disclosures, disclaimers, limitations on liability, a class action waiver and mandatory arbitration.
This Inspection Report is for the sole and exclusive use of the Customer named above and may not be used or relied upon by any third party including, without limitation, any seller of the inspected vehicle or any purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.
Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability and Dispute Resolution provisions of the terms and conditions (available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms), there are no implied or express warranties or guarantees of any kind in connection with any vehicle inspection, and the Limited Warranty does not apply to inspections. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench will perform each inspection with reasonable care within the scope stated in this report, and the report reflects the inspector’s opinion. Except as provided in the terms and conditions and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaim liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle, and for any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. The vehicle inspection is not a warranty of originality or that every component of a vehicle’s applicable trim level at the time of manufacture is present or functioning in the vehicle, nor that aftermarket modifications to the vehicle have, or have not, been made. The items visually inspected were in the reported condition listed in the report at the time of the inspection only. A visual inspection will not identify the working condition of each and every vehicle part or component, nor will a visual inspection identify any or all missing, tampered or altered components. Intermittent component or systems issues or failures may not present themselves at the precise time of inspection and/or a vehicle may be tuned in a manner to mask or minimize any such issues; in either case, such intermittent issues may not be discoverable during inspection. Subject to the standard of care stated above, Wrench further disclaims liability for any damage or defects not found during inspection. Other conditions may exist which did not occur or appear during inspection. It is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the consent of the vehicle’s owner or seller to the inspection and any test drive, and to ensure the vehicle to be inspected is in a state in which the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads, safe and functioning well enough to start and drive, and located in a space that is accessible and allows the inspector full access to vehicle components. Vehicles that are not safe, legal, or in a running condition will not have a test drive performed. The inspector may decline or stop a test drive at any time in the inspector’s discretion. Any claim relating to an inspection must be submitted to Wrench in writing within thirty (30) days after the customer discovers the basis for the claim and, where practicable, before the vehicle is repaired or altered, so that Wrench may re-inspect the vehicle.
