1. Engine & Powertrain

PASS w/ NOTE
  • 2.5L I4 hybrid engine cold-started cleanly with no abnormal noises; warm idle is smooth and stable.
  • Oil level is within range and condition appears acceptable for current mileage; no coolant-oil mixing observed.
  • No visible fluid leaks around engine block, valve cover gaskets, or hybrid transaxle area.
  • Coolant hoses and drive belts are in serviceable condition with no cracking or excessive wear.

Notes: At 147,231 km, a fresh engine oil and filter change is recommended if not recently performed.

2. Transmission & Driveline

PASS
  • CVT shift quality is smooth through all ranges with no slip, shudder, or abnormal noise detected.
  • AWD transfer case operation engages and disengages as expected with no binding or warning lights.
  • Rear differential fluid is at proper level and appears in acceptable condition.

3. Exhaust & Emissions

PASS
  • Exhaust system is intact with no leaks detected; no abnormal smoke visible at any RPM range.
  • O2 sensor readings are within normal parameters on scan tool; catalytic converter monitors show readiness.
  • Emissions readiness monitors are set and complete with no pending or active codes.

4. Fluids

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Engine oil is at correct level and acceptable condition; coolant (Toyota SLLC pink) is at proper level and clear.
  • Brake fluid is at proper level but shows moderate darkening indicating moisture absorption typical of age.
  • Power steering fluid is not applicable (electric power steering); transfer case fluid at correct level and clean.

Notes: Brake fluid flush recommended at next service interval.

5. Brakes

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Front brake pads measure approximately 4mm remaining; rear pads at approximately 5mm remaining.
  • Front rotors show light scoring and minor lip at edges but are within serviceable spec; rear rotors in good condition.
  • Brake pedal feel is firm and responsive; parking brake engages and holds vehicle properly.

Notes: Front brake pads and rotor resurfacing or replacement will be needed within approximately 15,000–20,000 km.

6. Tires & Wheels

PASS w/ NOTE
  • All-season tire set is matching with tread depths averaging 5/32" front and 6/32" rear.
  • Wear pattern is generally even across all four wheels with no evidence of misalignment or suspension-related wear.
  • No sidewall damage or wheel damage observed; TPMS sensors reading correctly on all four corners.

Notes: Tires are approaching the wear-replacement threshold (4/32"); budget for a new set within the next 10,000–15,000 km.

7. Suspension & Steering

PASS
  • Front and rear suspension bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends are tight with no excessive play.
  • Shock absorbers and struts are functioning properly with no visible leakage or bouncing after compression test.
  • Steering is precise with no excessive play; no pulling or wandering noted during test drive.

8. Electrical & Electronics

PASS w/ NOTE
  • 12V auxiliary battery tests at 12.4V static; charging voltage reads 14.2V with engine running — acceptable.
  • Full module scan returned no active DTCs; all hybrid system modules report normal status.
  • All exterior lights, wipers, infotainment system, power windows, and power accessories function correctly.

Notes: 12V battery is within spec but is a factory original — replacement recommended as a preventive measure given vehicle age.

9. Safety Systems

PASS
  • Airbag system scan shows no faults; SRS indicator illuminates and extinguishes normally at startup.
  • ABS and ESC/traction control systems scan clean with no stored codes; function confirmed during road test.
  • Backup camera displays clearly with proper guidelines; lane departure and pre-collision safety systems report readiness with no warnings.

10. Exterior & Interior

PASS w/ NOTE
  • Body panel alignment is consistent across all panels; paint finish (Ruby Flare Pearl) is uniform with no signs of prior repair work observed visually.
  • No visible damage, dents, or rust on body panels; all glass is intact with no chips or cracks.
  • Interior condition is above average for mileage with seats, carpets, and headliner showing normal wear; no odour detected.
  • No reported accidents per Carfax auto-scan.

Notes: Minor surface scratches noted on rear bumper cover — cosmetic only.

11. Road Test

PASS
  • Urban driving: smooth acceleration from stop with seamless hybrid EV-to-gas transitions; regenerative braking operates smoothly.
  • Highway driving: stable at highway speeds with no vibrations, no driveline noise, and no steering wander.
  • Braking is progressive and confident with no pull; no DTCs appeared during the drive cycle.
  • Hybrid battery state of charge maintained properly during test; no warning lights illuminated at any point.
Overall verdict
PASS w/ NOTE Vehicle is mechanically sound with no safety concerns; front brakes and tires are approaching service replacement, and a brake fluid flush is recommended at next visit.
