Approaching noon, I entered the store with a Buick Verano, a 2015 three box 15S automatic drive model. The owner purchased it in 2016 and it has been a full 10 years since then, but the total mileage is not much, just 40000 kilometers, averaging only about 4000 kilometers per year.

The car owner said he doesn't usually drive very much, and after this maintenance, he will have to leave it at home for at least half a month before driving again. This time, we will take photos taken during the inspection by the master to see what the condition of this car, which has been around for 40000 kilometers for 10 years, looks like.

Open the engine hood, the overall condition is good. The technician pulled out the oil dipstick to measure, and the oil level was at the middle scale, which is considered normal. As for brake fluid and antifreeze, the car owner himself understands the car and says he doesn't care for them temporarily.

Lift up the car. The original car had a plastic protective plate, which was not fully protected. The owner installed an iron protective plate themselves, and reserved holes for the oil drain screw and oil filter.

The car owner said that the car was already priced at 150000 yuan when it landed, and now it's not very valuable. The master said that the prices of joint venture cars ten years ago were indeed not cheap, but the materials used were decent. Look at the subframe, which is made of aluminum alloy material.

The car owner said that the chassis has not been touched and is basically in its original state, with only two front tires replaced. Check the front suspension, the front steering knuckle is also made of aluminum alloy material, and there are no problems with the lower arm ball joint, tie rod ball joint, small connecting rod, and shock absorber.

Looking at the middle part of the chassis, it is very in line with the style of American cars, quite bold, without protective plates. The owner said that the chassis armor was sprayed after buying the car.

Looking at the rear suspension, the torsion beam non independent suspension with Watt linkage was checked for the status of all components and there were no issues.

The master said that the two rear tires are still the original car tires, and the number 1316 indicated by the arrow indicates that they were produced in the 13th week of 2016, a full 10 years ago, with many side aging cracks.

The tread pattern is still very obvious, as shown in the following picture, and the grooves are relatively deep. The master said that the depth of the tire pattern is closely related to the mileage. The mileage of the car is only 40000 kilometers, but due to the long time, it is still recommended that the owner replace it.

When checking the tires, the owner asked why the tire pressure is so high now? The master said that the reason for thermal expansion and contraction is that when the temperature is high, the air pressure inside the tire will naturally increase. I can let it go for you.

The above is the condition of this Buick Verano after 10 years and 40000 kilometers, and the overall condition is very good. The master said that the car didn't run much, and coupled with the fact that the owner usually parks the car in the garage and the parking environment is good, the overall condition of the car is naturally good, but the tires need to be changed early!
