Condition Overview

Exterior Condition

Minor cosmetic marks are noted, including light scratches on the front and rear bumpers and right-hand door, a slightly heavier scratch on the roof panel, a small dent on the right front fender, and a faint repair wave on the left rear quarter panel. These are consistent with careful use rather than neglect and align with the Grade 4 assessment.

The auction notes indicate the vehicle drives well and has been properly maintained. No mechanical faults are listed, and the car is described as clean both inside and out.
