Set the decision boundary
Confirm VIN and powertrain, then map paint depth and inspect seams, welds, fasteners, glass, pillars, rails, floor, suspension mounts and cabin low points. Keep cosmetic panel repair separate from damage affecting structure, restraints or battery protection.
Evidence belongs to one VIN. Preserve dated photos, readings, scans, charge results and road observations so another reviewer can reproduce the conclusion.
Evidence to request
Collect lift photographs, alignment readings, full-module diagnostics and repair records. Inspect connectors, seat mounts, restraint modules, battery shields, cooling traces and isolation information where supported. Intrusive high-voltage work belongs only to qualified personnel. Continue with the complete used A06 inspection and the battery-underbody evidence route when the impact area reaches the floor or pack protection.
Classify material findings by consequence and required action rather than by cosmetic impression.
What can invalidate the conclusion
Cleaning and fresh coatings can conceal impact or water evidence. A clear dashboard does not prove restraint or battery integrity. Unknown structural, flood or high-voltage repair remains a hold or rejection rather than a discount assumption.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
Separate evidence from assumption
ConfirmedMove only dated, VIN-linked records into the confirmed column.
Still openList every contradiction, missing test and seller-stated fact with an owner and deadline.
Destination testRecord local compatibility, service access and cost effects independently from China-side vehicle condition.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Agree the inspection scope before presentation. The report should show VIN, date, location, ambient condition, odometer and test sequence. Preserve cold and hot observations where relevant, full diagnostic output, charging evidence, paint readings, underside images and road-test notes. Do not accept a seller-selected highlight video as systematic coverage. Classify every finding by evidence, likely consequence, required action and cost owner. High-voltage, structural, flood and identity questions require qualified resolution; a discount alone does not close them.
For this decision, assign a source, date, reviewer and refresh point to every required field. The six controls below are not complete when merely mentioned in a sales message; each needs evidence strong enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
01 VIN and powertrainCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 Paint and structureRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Flood indicatorsState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 Battery undersideCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Restraint diagnosticsRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 Repair recordsState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
Before approval, read the file without relying on the original salesperson’s memory. Mark every unresolved item as a hold, give it an owner and deadline, and repeat affected checks when the vehicle, quotation, route or destination rule changes. This distinguishes a documented A06 candidate from a plausible but unverified listing.
Keep rejected evidence in the file with the reason it was rejected. This prevents an outdated screenshot, superseded quotation or mismatched brochure from returning later as if it were current proof, and it gives the destination receiver a clear audit trail.
Connect the result to the destination
Record accepted condition before loading and provide the destination workshop with the VIN, repair boundary and diagnostic baseline.
Record the responsible party, evidence date, expiry or recheck point and the effect on cost or approval. A complete file makes remaining uncertainty visible; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature.
Use the result in a buyer scenario
A repainted bumper with consistent structure may be cosmetic. Disturbed battery fasteners, connector corrosion and restraint faults require qualified review; reject the car if the repair boundary cannot be established.
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold should name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. A replacement VIN begins a new review rather than inheriting approval.

Official CHANGAN NEVO model overview ↗CHANGAN intelligent safety overview ↗Questions to close before approval
Does repainting prove a crash?
No. Determine repair extent and quality.
Can a clean cabin exclude flooding?
No. Inspect cavities, wiring, modules and records.
Should the battery be opened?
Not during routine inspection; qualified high-voltage procedures are required.
