VERIFY / FIELD NOTE 24
CONNECTED DECISIONS
Begin with the complete used Tai 7 inspection. Carry lower-body findings into the underbody and water-exposure route. Send affected sensors to the ADAS calibration check.
Compare insurance, auction, recovery, repair, service and seller records with dated current media. Preserve gaps and conflicts as open questions. A missing claim record is not proof of damage, but it prevents an unsupported accident-free description.
Measure paint where appropriate and check seams, welds, fasteners, glass dates, panel gaps, rails, pillars, sills, crossmembers, mounts and apertures. Map each repair to its likely load path instead of grading the entire vehicle from one repainted panel.
Inspect carpets, seat mounts, storage wells, doors, ventilation paths, frame cavities and accessible connectors for deposits, corrosion or replacement. Cleaning can remove odor and staining while leaving terminal or module damage.
Identify PHEV or EV first. Inspect accessible shields, battery-adjacent structure, fuel-system areas where fitted, lines and connectors without unauthorised high-voltage dismantling. Isolation, enclosure or restraint concerns require qualified procedures.
Verify airbags, belts, pretensioners, windscreen, bumpers, cameras, radar and parking sensors against repair records. Body, glass, steering or suspension work can reopen alignment and calibration even when the dashboard is clear.
Write the component, part identity, workshop, procedure, result and repeat inspection required for each accepted repair. Freeze the repaired areas, diagnostics and underbody condition again before loading.
HANDOVER FILE
BUYER SCENARIO
Compare a documented bolt-on panel repair with a cheaper candidate showing unexplained sill deformation and cleaned low-point connectors. Price correction and calibration on the first; hold or reject the second until structure and water exposure can be bounded.
Stress the result by assuming “Trace water through low points” reveals a conflict, “Protect powertrain boundaries” is delayed, or “Reconnect restraints and sensors” changes before custody. Rework the cost, timing and stop condition using water-path and connector inspection, restraint and diagnostic scan, calibration and post-repair test. A different VIN, propulsion route or installed configuration starts a new candidate record. The conclusion for Used Tai 7 Accident, Frame and Flood Checks must explain how VIN-linked event timeline and body and frame measurement record support or limit the selected route.
CLOSE THE FILE
For Used Tai 7 Accident, Frame and Flood Checks, reconcile VIN-linked event timeline, body and frame measurement record, water-path and connector inspection, restraint and diagnostic scan, calibration and post-repair test. Mark each item verified, seller-stated, estimated or unresolved, and put a responsible person and expiry date beside the open work. Keep commercial rows separate so a change in one assumption does not silently rewrite the whole conclusion.
Immediately before payment or handover, repeat “Build the event timeline” and confirm that the candidate still matches the reviewed record. Preserve the VIN, odometer, visible condition, keys, documents and relevant energy state. If the vehicle or a material specification changes, close this file and begin a new one.
OFFICIAL REFERENCE BOUNDARY
Fangchengbao may revise equipment, software and specifications. Match official information to the production record and actual installed hardware. Review the official Fangchengbao Tai 7 reference, then verify the candidate and destination independently.
BUYER QUESTIONS
No. Compare paint depth, seams, fasteners, structure, measurements and records.
No. Inspect concealed low points, corrosion, connectors and module history.
Only when repair scope, parts, qualified work and a VIN-linked retest meet the agreed boundary.
