How to Check if a New Car Has Been Repaired?
1 Answers
To check if a new car has been repaired, you can visit a 4S store. Below are specific methods to check if a new car has been repaired: 1. Check maintenance records: You can visit a 4S store to check the maintenance records, or use some third-party software to check the car's maintenance records. If it's a new car, there is no insurance purchased, so it's impossible to check the claim records. If there are no repair records at the 4S store, you can hire a used car appraiser to inspect the car. During the repair process, some traces will be left, which a professional used car appraiser can identify. 2. Carefully inspect the car's appearance and odometer reading. A new car won't have minor bumps or dents. Open the engine hood and wheel covers, and carefully check if any screw caps show signs of being tampered with. New cars are generally assembled electrically, without any manual tightening marks. Odometer mileage. New cars are usually transported by carrier, and short-distance driving may occur, generally not exceeding 500 kilometers. However, odometer tampering exists, so be cautious about whether the dashboard screws show signs of being tampered with.
