1. Engine & Powertrain
PASS- Cold and warm starts are clean with no abnormal noises from the 3.5L V6 turbocharged engine.
- Idle quality is smooth and stable at operating temperature.
- Engine oil level is full and condition appears clean; no coolant mixing or cross-contamination detected.
- No visible oil or fluid leaks around the engine block, valve covers, or turbocharger housing; belts and hoses are in good condition.
2. Transmission & Driveline
PASS- 9-speed automatic shifts smoothly through all forward and reverse gears with no slip or shudder.
- AWD transfer case engages and operates correctly through all drive modes.
- No unusual driveline noises during acceleration or deceleration.
- Differential operation is quiet with no binding or clunking.
3. Exhaust & Emissions
PASS- Exhaust system is intact with no leaks detected along the piping or at connection points.
- O2 sensor monitors and catalytic converter readiness show completed on scan tool with no pending codes.
- No visible smoke from the tailpipe at idle or under load.
- Emissions readiness status is fully set for all monitored systems.
4. Fluids
PASS w/ NOTE- Engine oil is at the full mark and appears relatively clean on the dipstick.
- Coolant is at the correct level and shows proper colour with no contamination.
- Brake fluid is at an acceptable level but is slightly darker than new, indicating early stages of moisture absorption.
- Power steering, transfer case, and differential fluids are all at proper levels with no signs of leakage.
Notes: Brake fluid is serviceable but a fluid flush is recommended at the next scheduled maintenance interval.
5. Brakes
PASS w/ NOTE- Front brake pads measure approximately 5mm remaining thickness; rotors are in good condition with no scoring.
- Rear brake pads measure approximately 6mm remaining thickness with smooth rotor surfaces.
- Brake fluid level is adequate and pedal feel is firm with no sponginess.
- Parking brake engages and holds the vehicle on an incline as expected.
Notes: Front brake pads are approaching mid-service life; recommend monitoring and planning replacement within approximately 15,000 km.
6. Tires & Wheels
PASS w/ NOTE- All four tires are a matching set of all-season tires with tread depths measuring 5/32-inch front and 6/32-inch rear.
- Wear pattern is generally even across all four tires with no signs of cupping or feathering.
- No sidewall damage or visible wheel damage on any of the four alloy wheels.
- TPMS sensors are reading correctly on all four corners.
Notes: Tire tread is adequate but approaching the point where replacement should be planned before next winter season.
7. Suspension & Steering
PASS- Front and rear suspension components including bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends are tight with no play.
- Shocks and struts provide controlled damping with no bouncing or excessive body roll.
- Steering is responsive with no excessive play and no wandering or pulling on flat road surfaces.
- Alignment appears within specification with no abnormal tire wear patterns indicating misalignment.
8. Electrical & Electronics
PASS- 12V battery voltage reads 12.6V at rest and charging voltage is 14.2V with the engine running.
- Full module scan completed with no active or pending diagnostic trouble codes stored.
- All exterior lights, wipers, and infotainment functions operate correctly.
- Power accessories including seats, mirrors, tailgate, and climate controls all function as designed.
9. Safety Systems
PASS- Airbag system module shows no faults and all airbag indicators function correctly on startup cycle.
- ABS and ESC/traction control systems are operational with no warning lights illuminated.
- Backup camera displays a clear image with functional guide lines.
- ADAS features including lane departure, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise are operational with no calibration faults detected.
10. Exterior & Interior
PASS w/ NOTE- Body panel alignment is consistent across all panels with uniform gaps and no visible misalignment.
- Paint finish is consistent in colour and gloss across all exterior panels with no signs of repainting observed.
- Glass is free of cracks or chips on all windows and the windshield.
- Interior is in good condition with seats, trim, and all controls showing wear consistent with the vehicle's mileage.
Notes: Carfax history should be reviewed by the buyer.
11. Road Test
PASS- Urban driving confirms smooth starting, responsive acceleration, and seamless transmission shifting through low-speed gears.
- Highway driving shows stable cruising with no vibrations, steering wander, or driveline noises at speed.
- Braking performance is progressive and confident with no pulsation or pulling under moderate to hard braking.
- No new diagnostic trouble codes appeared during the road test and no warning lights illuminated.
Overall verdict
PASS w/ NOTE Vehicle is mechanically sound with no safety concerns; minor service items include front brake pads approaching mid-life, brake fluid flush recommendation, and tire replacement planning before next winter.
