Used BYD Sealion 7 Accident and Flood Checks

Compare claim, auction, recovery, service, repair and seller records with current dated media. Preserve contradictions as open points. A missing claim is not proof of damage, but it prevents an unsupported clean-history conclusion.

Measure paint where appropriate and inspect glass dates, seams, welds, fasteners, pillars, roof edge, sills, floor, apertures and suspension mounting areas. Map each repair to its load path rather than grading the whole car from one panel.

Inspect carpet edges, seat mounts, storage wells, doors, ventilation paths and accessible connectors for deposits, corrosion or replacement. Cleaning can remove smell and staining while terminal or module damage remains.

Inspect accessible underfloor shields, enclosure-adjacent structure, cooling lines and connectors without opening the traction battery. Isolation, enclosure or high-voltage concerns require qualified procedures and preserved diagnostics.

Check airbags, belts, pretensioners, windscreen, bumpers, cameras, radar and parking sensors against repair records. Body, glass, steering or suspension work can require alignment and calibration even without a warning lamp.

Name the part, repair method, provider and repeat inspection required. Recheck structure, sealing, diagnostics, calibration and road behavior after approved work, then freeze the same areas before loading.

Close this specific file by placing VIN-linked event and repair timeline, paint, glass, fastener and structure map and water-path and connector inspection in one dated candidate record. The reviewer should be able to confirm that structure and water paths are separately assessed and that high-voltage boundaries remain controlled. Name the person or provider responsible for every unresolved point, add a realistic cost or consequence, and state what evidence will change the decision. If the VIN, version, condition or destination basis changes, reopen this file instead of carrying the previous conclusion into a different purchase.

A useful decision records what is verified, what remains seller-stated and what was not tested. Attach a consequence and owner to each open item. Do not let a broad assurance replace a missing VIN record, charge test, condition image or destination opinion. Acceptance should be explicit: proceed, proceed with a priced condition, obtain more evidence, or reject. A replacement VIN never inherits an earlier acceptance.

Give images, scans, diagnostics and quotations a date, source and vehicle identity. Preserve originals before translation or editing. If custody, software, repair, route or candidate changes, identify which conclusions expire and repeat the affected checks instead of silently carrying them forward. Before inland release, read the same identity, propulsion, value and parties across contract, invoice, inspection and shipping drafts. Registration and customs remain separate destination checks.
