Pre-Sale Mechanical Inspection Report
1. HV Battery

- Pack voltage readings normal across all cell groups; charge acceptance verified during Level 2 and DC fast-charge testing.
- Battery degradation minimal relative to new-vehicle baseline; no weak or flagged modules detected.
Notes: Battery SOH is excellent for mileage; recommend UV/dielectric inspection of pack cover at next major service interval as preventative measure.

- Onboard charger accepted Level 2 input at rated amperage without fault; DC fast-charge confirmed at expected kW rate on 350 kW unit.
- Charge indicator lights on exterior mirror and charge port illuminate and sequence correctly during all charge modes.
- Charge cable and connectors inspected; no heat damage, corrosion, or pin deformation noted.
3. Drive Motor(s) & Inverter
PASS- Front and rear drive motors (e4WD tri-motor 3X configuration) operate smoothly through full power range with no abnormal noises.
- Inverter units scanned via OEM tool; no active or pending DTCs; isolation resistance within specification at >500 kOhm.
- Power delivery linear in all drive modes; no hesitation, surging, or torque-steer observed during acceleration tests.
- Motor coolant loop sealed and circulating; inverter temperatures stable during extended test drive.
4. Regenerative Braking
PASS- Regenerative braking function verified in all modes including One-Pedal Driving; deceleration blending with friction brakes seamless.
- Brake-by-wire response immediate and progressive; no delayed engagement or sponginess detected at pedal.
- Transition between regen and friction braking imperceptible under moderate and hard deceleration; no jerking or grab.
- Regen paddle (if equipped via steering wheel controls) responded correctly; all regen levels selectable through infotainment.
5. HV Battery Cooling
PASS- Battery thermal management system operational; cooling and heating circuits functioning as designed during charge and drive cycles.
- Coolant levels in battery and drive-unit loops at proper level; coolant condition clean with no contamination or discoloration.
- No overheating events or thermal warnings during DC fast-charge session or extended highway test drive.
- HVAC preconditioning and battery conditioning modes all responded correctly via infotainment and mobile app integration.
6. 12V Auxiliary Battery
PASS w/ NOTE- 12V auxiliary battery voltage measured at 12.6V static and 14.0V with DC-DC converter active; battery health test indicates good capacity.
- DC-DC converter operation confirmed; all low-voltage loads (lights, wipers, infotainment, HVAC fans, power accessories) supported without voltage drop.
- No parasitic draw detected during 30-minute static test; 12V battery maintained charge correctly during vehicle sleep mode.
- Auxiliary battery is original equipment; age-appropriate but functional at time of inspection.
Notes: 12V battery is original; recommend monitoring and replacement around the 4-5 year mark as preventative maintenance.
7. Estimated Range
PASS w/ NOTE- Estimated full-charge range on GOM displayed approximately 470-500 km in current conditions, compared to original EPA/manufacturer rating of approximately 505 km for the 3X trim.
- GOM behaviour adjusts appropriately based on driving style and climate settings; range estimate tracks consistently with actual consumption during road test.
- Notable degradation minimal; approximately 2-3% reduction from new-vehicle range, well within normal parameters for age and mileage.
- Range verification performed at approximately 80% state of charge; extrapolated full-charge range aligns with battery SOH reading.
Notes: Range figures vary with ambient temperature, driving conditions, and climate control load; winter range in Canadian conditions will be notably lower.
8. Brakes
PASS w/ NOTE- Front brake pad thickness measured at 6mm; rear pad thickness at 7mm. Rotors smooth with no scoring, cracks, or excessive lip.
- Brake fluid level full; fluid condition clean amber with no moisture contamination detected via test strip.
- Parking brake (electronic) engages and releases correctly; holds vehicle on grade without slipping.
- Brake pedal feel firm and consistent; no sponginess or excessive travel; brake-by-wire system responsive.
Notes: Front pads will need attention within approximately 25,000-30,000 km; recommend brake fluid flush at 5-year interval per maintenance schedule.
9. Tires & Wheels
PASS w/ NOTE- Front tire tread depth measured at 6/32nds; rear tire tread depth at 7/32nds. Original equipment all-season tires.
- Tire wear pattern even across all four corners; no cupping, feathering, or edge wear indicating alignment or suspension concerns.
- No sidewall damage, bulges, or puncture repairs found; all wheels inspected with no bends, cracks, or finish damage.
- TPMS sensors reading correctly on all four wheels; tire pressure set to door placard specification. Tires are a matching set of same brand and size.
Notes: Front tires at 6/32nds will likely need replacement before next winter season in Canada; recommend planning for new tires within 10,000-15,000 km.
10. Suspension & Steering
