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.
