Tires
The tires were matched by brand. Front tires have 7/32nds and 6/32nds, while rear tires have 7/32nds tire tread remaining. Left wheels are showing scratches, while right wheels displayed cur rash. Right front tire is gouged.

Exterior
There are minor miscellaneous scratches around the vehicle. Most too small to see in photos. Front bumper has road chips and a scratch and some scratches underneath, not visible from a standing position. The rear bumper has a small surface scratch. The roof has four dings. The trunk and fuel door have dings. Cowl seal on the lower part of windshield is worn and show cracks. The windshield has miscellaneous stone chips. The windshield wipers and washer functioned properly. Panel gaps between the front and rear bumpers and quarter panels looked normal.

Interior
There is light wear to the seats. Rear access release trim is faded. Right inner door panel has a small scratch. Service due since 08/2023 message is shown from the cluster. Driver's floor mat is missing at the time of inspection. The features including windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges, operated properly.

Mechanical
Only one key fob was shown during inspection. The fob was inconsistent in operation and will need a new battery soon. There was no burning oil smell in the engine compartment. Fasteners in the engine bay appeared generally intact and in place. Hoses, belts, axle boots, and visible bushings appeared sound. No obvious leaks were noted from the engine and transmission areas. No frame damage seen.

Road test
I found no issues on the test drive. 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 leaks found to the underside of the vehicle. I hooked up my Scan Tool to the computer system and found no current or pending codes. All of the live data looked good with no issues reported. See below and pictures for more info.
