What a buyer or inspector should check

• Check the title and history report for flood or salvage branding and the loss details.
• Find out what the tape marker in photo 13 indicates, and check the door seals, rocker panels and lower door cavities for silt, residue or corrosion.
• Pull up the carpets and check under the seats, the seat rails and the spare-wheel well for moisture, silt or rust. The visible interior looks clean (photos 8, 9, 11), but these areas are not shown.
• Scan all modules for fault codes, since a red warning triangle is lit on the cluster (photo 10).
• Check the air intake and filter, the engine oil and the transmission fluid for water contamination. Clear the leaf debris near the cowl (photo 12) and check the cowl drains.
• Test all electrical functions: windows, seats, infotainment, lighting, locks and the 4WD/terrain systems. The screens power up in photos 7 and 10, but function is not shown.

What the photos cannot show

• Whether the vehicle was exposed to water, and if so how high and for how long
• Condition of the electrical modules and wiring connectors
• Engine, transmission and 4WD mechanical condition
• Corrosion under the carpets, in the underbody or in the door cavities
• Frame or underbody damage
• Whether the displayed mileage is accurate

What the damage type means

Water / flood

The vehicle was exposed to water. Flood damage can affect electrics, interior and engine long after the car dries.

This is what the sale record reported. The real condition can only be confirmed by an inspection.
