Tires
he vehicle is equipped with correctly sized tires, and all four tires have an adequate amount of remaining tread depth. The tires are Hankook tires. The wheels shows curb rash.

Exterior
There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle most too small to see in photos. Window trim and door seals were sound. Glass was free of obvious damage and the windshield wiper/washer functioned properly. Headlights and tail lights were clear and free of obvious cracks or other damage.

Interior
There is light wear to the seats. The passenger front seat leather has minor scratch. 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. All essential features such as windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges operated properly during the inspection.

Mechanical
Exhaust shows some surface rust, but at this time has no leaks and sounds good. The oil was at the proper level and did not appear to be dark. Inspection under the oil fill cap found no signs of excessive moisture or sludge accumulation. Hoses and belts appeared to be sound. No fluid leaks were noted from the engine's top or bottom or the transmission's bottom. Inspection underneath the vehicle found all splash guards and protective panels in place.

Road Test
The OBD2 scanners were not registering any Diagnostic computer trouble code database. I tested with two different types of advanced scanners, and both returned invalid data. Further diagnosis is needed. The transmission functioned properly as designed, and the vehicle handled and braked well. I did not detect any odd noises or vibrations during the inspection.
