How to Determine if a Car is New?

[EvanLynn]

Here are methods to identify whether a car is new: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the information on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it is considered an old car. 2. Inspect the brake discs: Most modern small passenger vehicles use disc brakes, making the brake discs a reliable indicator. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There is usually a 1-2 mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake disc. After a certain distance is driven, a raised edge, commonly referred to as a 'step,' will form on the outer edge of the brake disc (the 'step' on a new car is very low).
