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.
