1. Engine & Powertrain
PASS- Cold and warm starts are clean with no abnormal noises from the 2L turbocharged I4.
- Idle quality is smooth and stable; no misfires or rough idle observed.
- Oil level and condition are within specification; no coolant/oil mixing detected.
- Turbocharger spool and boost delivery are normal; no whining or boost leaks.
2. Transmission & Driveline
PASS- 9-speed automatic shifts smoothly through all gears with no slip or shudder.
- 4MATIC+ transfer case operation is normal; no binding or abnormal engagement.
- Downshifts are responsive with no hesitation or clunking.
- Differential and driveline components are quiet under load and coast.
3. Exhaust & Emissions
PASS- No visible exhaust leaks detected throughout the system.
- O2 sensor readings are within normal parameters on scan tool.
- Catalytic converter monitors show readiness with no pending codes.
- No visible smoke from the tailpipe on cold start or under acceleration.
4. Fluids
PASS- Engine oil is clean and at the correct level; no signs of degradation.
- Coolant is at proper concentration and level with no contamination.
- Brake fluid is clear and at full level; moisture content within acceptable range.
- Transfer case and differential fluid levels are correct with no signs of leakage.
5. HV Battery
PASS- Traction battery state-of-health reads normal on diagnostic scan with no degradation flags.
- Charge balance across modules is even with no weak cells detected.
- Hybrid battery cooling intake and fan are clean and operating normally.
- No DTCs stored in the HV battery controller.
6. Drive Motor(s) & Inverter
PASS- Electric motor and generator operation is smooth with no abnormal noises.
- Inverter temperatures are within normal operating range under load.
- Power delivery from the electric motor blends seamlessly with the combustion engine.
- No fault codes present in the motor or inverter controllers.
7. Charge System
PASS- PHEV charge port is clean and undamaged; charge flap opens and latches correctly.
- Level 1 and Level 2 charging tested successfully; onboard charger completes charge cycle without faults.
- Charge indicator lights function as expected during plug-in and charging.
- No corrosion or damage visible at the charge port contacts.
8. Hybrid Powertrain Control
PASS- Gas-to-electric and electric-to-gas transitions are seamless with no hesitation or jerking.
- Regenerative braking blends smoothly with friction braking; no abrupt transitions.
- No hybrid system warning states or DTCs stored in the hybrid controller.
- Power-split operation is normal across all driving modes.
9. Brakes
PASS w/ NOTE- Front brake pad thickness is approximately 6mm; rear pads at approximately 7mm.
- Rotors are smooth with no scoring, warping, or excessive wear.
- Brake fluid is at the correct level and pedal feel is firm and responsive.
- Parking brake engages and releases normally; electronic parking brake function confirmed.
Notes: Front brake pads will likely need replacement within approximately 20,000 km depending on driving style.
10. Tires & Wheels
PASS w/ NOTE- Front tire tread depth measures approximately 6/32"; rear at approximately 7/32".
- Wear pattern is even across all four tires; no cupping or feathering observed.
- No sidewall damage or wheel damage; all four wheels are a matching set.
- TPMS sensors are reading correctly on all four wheels.
- Tires are summer performance compounds; winter tires will be required for Canadian cold-season driving.
Notes: Vehicle is equipped with summer tires only; a dedicated winter tire set is strongly recommended for Canadian winter conditions.
11. Suspension & Steering
PASS- Front and rear bushings, ball joints, and tie rods are tight with no play.
- Shocks and struts are free of leaks and provide controlled damping.
- Steering is precise with no excessive play or wandering.
- No alignment issues detected; vehicle tracks straight on flat road surface.
