Tires
All tires observed were matched by brand and had tread depths of 7 and 9/32nds at the front and 9/32nds at the rear. No spare tire present during the inspection.

Exterior
Rear wipe cover missing noted in pictures 164-165. The exterior lights, windshield wipers, and washer functioned properly. Window and door seals are intact. Seams and panel alignment were to factory standards. Notably, there were no dents and the overall paint condition was good. Paint thickness measurements were consistent and within the expected range across all panels.

Interior
Auxiliary battery malfunction message in the dash cluster. I noted upon observation that the seats have no tears or rips. I tested the seat features throughout the vehicle and they all functioned properly. I noted no smoke or unusual odors. The climate controls and interior electronic systems worked as designed. I noted that the windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges operated properly.

Mechanical
Vehicle's emission label was present. All accessible fluids were checked and are at normal operating levels. All hoses were intact with no visible leaks in engine bay or under vehicle. There was no burning oil smell in the engine compartment. Engine compartment was clean and no abnormalities were detected.

Road Test
I did a ride along and I found no issues on the test drive. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. 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 after the road test. I hooked up my scanner to the computer system and found no current or pending codes. All of the live data looked good with no issues reported.

Please see the pictures and video for more information.
