Things that are easy to miss in a quick walk-around.
Dents, scratches, rust, cracked glass, missing parts, panel misalignment and faded or oxidized paint.
Uneven panel gaps and other signs of past repair, plus aftermarket modifications.
Tread depth, uneven wear, tire brand and age, and curb rash on the wheels.

The scan reads the car from the photos, then rates what it can see.
| Result | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Condition score | A score with a rating of excellent, good, fair or poor, based on what’s visible in the photos. |
| Notes by area | Separate notes for the exterior, interior, mechanical and tires. |
| Car details | Year, make, model, trim, mileage and title status filled in from the photos where readable. You confirm them before scanning. |
| Photo coverage | Tells you which angles are missing so nothing is skipped. |
| Dash warning lights | Add a photo of the gauge cluster and any warning lights are named, with what they mean for that car. |
| Value and deal score | The same value, deal score, problems and recalls as a listing scan. |
