NOTE

NOTE: Timing belt and chain cannot be physically checked as they are inside the engine, please refer to manufacturer’s specifications and service

records for replacement instructions. We can however check the timing belt and chain functionality using a computer diagnosis on all vehicles

that have onboard computer. It applies to almost all vehicles younger than 2003-year model. If the vehicle meets the above criteria and a

computer diagnosis has been included in your inspection plan, all malfunctions will be reported at the bottom under the identified issues.

NOTE

NOTE: Please Keep in mind that oil leak can be a slow process. Most fluid leaks only can be detected if under the body has not been cleaned or

degreased before. Last check cannot determine if under the car has been cleaned or not. Source of the leak also cannot be diagnosed on roadside

inspection without permission to work on the vehicle however in some obvious cases it can happen. At the same time finding the leak source is

quite simple and any service centre with permission to perform work on the vehicle can easily advise. Drum Brake assembly, brake pad

percentage, brake routers thickness and wear are not measured as the wheels are not removed however the brake functionality, ABS system,

Brake lines and effectiveness can be fully checked where possible.

NOTE NOTE: When conducting an inspection, Last Check only notes the larger types of dents and damages. At the same time, each vehicle is being

assessed for what it is, smaller size and minor damages and scratches are not guaranteed to be noted. It is the buyer’s responsibly to re-check the

inspected vehicle personally before settlement. Last Check gives no guarantees on previous repair history nor is the vehicle's Body alignment

measured or components removed. If you need a more detailed report, you need to take the vehicle to a workshop with fixed facilities. It is the

responsibility of the purchaser to re-check the vehicle for any dents or scratches at the point of sale. This vehicle has been left with the seller and

Last Check cannot be held responsible for any damages or dents that happen after the inspection.

EXTRA COMMENTS

ACCIDENTAL VEHICLE

This vehicle has been involved in ahigh impact head on collision in the past. As well in a separate occasion the

vehicle has been hit from the rear left corner.

The entire panels of the vehicle have been replaced in the past minus the roof and both front and rear bumpers

have been replaced. The rear bumper however looks off colour and the paint does not completely match the rest of

the vehicle.

Please Note: Because of the impacts, the front left of the chassis has been affected and fixed. although the fixture

looks professional, this vehicle can never be like before.

The over all price of a vehicle like this is below the market average even if the vehicle is not a repairable write off.

We Encourage you to be mindful of this before you make the final decision.

NOTE: This vehicle has been assessed for what it is. The small cosmetic imperfections which are in line with the age of the vehicle are not

reportable under this inspection. Second-hand vehicles might have countless small scratches and other imperfections but it does not mean that

the vehicle is in a bad shape. Like every used item normal wear and tear happens regardless and are not all reportable.

As an example, if the report says the suspension of the vehicle is good but the vehicle is a 10-year-old, we can never expect the suspension to be

like a new vehicle. At the same time, any parts that are considered risky or needing repairs, will be brought to your attention.

VEHICLE HISTORY CHECK

1. After Checking the PPSR record, this vehicle appears to be a Repairable Write-Off. The overall value of this

vehicle will be below the market value.

A full copy of the vehicle history report is a part of your report and will be sent to you as a different

attachment.

NOTE: Road test comments are being made based on the limited time that the inspector has physically tested the vehicle. While we pay attention

to all details not always, we can identify all the little problems on the roadside. Some intermittent issues also will not show all the time and a

much longer trip is needed for all smaller issues to be identified. The weather condition and traffic also directly affect the test drive. We highly

recommend taking the vehicle for a final test drive for at least 20 minutes with the air conditioning set on minimum to make sure everything all

possible problems have been noted.

IDENTIFIED ISSUES

ISSUES:

• Two engine related fault codes were found in the module.

Fault code 1: P0301 _ Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected

Fault code 2: P0327_ Knock Sensor 1 Circuit low Input (Bank 2 or Single Sensor)

• Fresh oil leak fond under the transmission although the transmission performance was still good _ it can be costly to fix in this model

vehicle

• Fresh oil leak was found from the sides of the engine block around the head gasket although the head gasket has not yet been

affected. Urgent attention is needed and will be costly for this model vehicle.

• The rear left shock is leaking fluid and needs replacement

• The vehicle has been involved in multiple accidents including a high impact one at the front. The front left part of the chassis has

been affected and fixed as a result. This vehicle can never be like before. Consider this before making the final decision.

• The engine had excessive Blowby _ it will be costly to repair as the engine block will need opening and closing to fix the issue

• Left side electric mirror is not functional. The motor needs replacement

• Rear left belt buckle needs to be replaced_ The vehicle will not pass registration in the current condition

• Turbo charger functionality was very poor and noisy however no fault codes could be found in the module. A normal clean up should

fix the issue

• A/C Compressor needs replacement- we recommend using only the original part for this model vehicle which can be costly

• Central locking is not working on the rear left door where the previous impact has been. A repair is needed

• Electric parking brake needs adjustment

RECOMMENDATION

RECOMMENDATION:

This vehicle looked good with not many obvious bodily damages and the interior condition was fairly ok for the age. At the same time the

vehicle had many identified issues which are listed above.

The vehicle has been involved in multiple accidents in the past and the entire panels have been resprayed as a result minus the roof. The paint

on the vehicle is not original and both bumpers have been replaced in the past with the rear one being off-colour.

The chassis was also bent and fixed in the past which is deemed risky and it can never be like before although it can pass the registration. A

slightly bent chassis puts a constant pressure on the suspension resulting in parts getting worn quickly or malfunctioning without a notice

which directly affects the safety of the passengers on board.

The cost of fixing some of the issues such as the transmission leak, air conditioning and the engine leak can be higher than expected and as the

mechanic digs through more worn items can be found which will add up to the final cost. The identified engine error codes however are not

too costly to fix in general and are easy to resolve.

Basically, this vehicle seems to be someone else’s problem which has been well presented to be sold easier.

Even if we fix all the issues on this vehicle, new problems are likely to rise with no indication because this car has had a rough past.

At the same time according to the government database ( PPSR Report) We can confirm that this vehicle is a repairable write off which affects

the resale value of the vehicle no matter how good the quality of the repairs are.

We do not recommend purchasing this vehicle for any price or spending any more to inspect it any further.
