Inspector’s conclusion

The engine and hybrid drivetrain appear to work at first glance. The steering shows a problem, likely the rack. Several interior systems don’t work: passenger and rear window regulators, rear seatbelts. The rear parking sensors are out of service, the camera works. The main problem is rust under the floor pan — this will make the already-expired MFK inspection very difficult to pass. Due to the condition of the underbody, this vehicle is not recommended.

Assessment by area

Bodywork, panel alignment, oxidation and tyres/wheels to watch. Underbody: problem found. Several visible scratches, front left wing bent/misaligned, fuel flap deformed, scratched wheels, visible rust marks under the vehicle.

✓ Mechanics
