Inspection Standards
Clear Condition. Realistic Expectations. Professional Export Confidence.
When sourcing vehicles internationally, clarity on condition is essential.
At Dragon Wagon Export Co., Ltd., inspections are designed to do exactly what professional buyers expect: reduce uncertainty, document reality, and support confident purchasing decisions, without making unrealistic promises.
Our inspection standards are built around transparency, practicality, and export experience.

Why Inspections Matter in International Vehicle Export
International vehicle export is fundamentally different from local retail purchases.
Vehicles are:
- sourced remotely,
- shipped internationally, and
- delivered into different regulatory environments.
Professional inspections help to:
- document visible condition before export,
- set realistic expectations,
- reduce misunderstandings after delivery, and
- support smooth logistics and claims handling where applicable.
Considering a specific vehicle? Ask us which inspection level makes sense for your destination and use case.
Our Inspection Philosophy
We believe inspections should be honest, documented, and practical.
An inspection is not a warranty and not a guarantee. It is a structured snapshot of condition at a specific point in time.
This approach protects both buyer and exporter and leads to better long-term outcomes.
Speak with our team to understand exactly what inspections can and cannot tell you.
What Our Inspections Typically Cover
Depending on availability and vehicle type, inspections may include:
Exterior & Interior Condition
- body panels, paint, and visible cosmetic condition
- interior surfaces, seats, trim, and controls
- documentation of visible wear, scratches, dents, or imperfections
Functional Checks (Non-Invasive)
- lights, indicators, horn
- basic electronics and displays
- visual check of tires and brakes
Documentation
- VIN confirmation
- odometer reading (as displayed)
- photo and/or video documentation
All findings are recorded and shared transparently.
Request sample inspection photos or reports. We are happy to show you what to expect.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Inspection Considerations
Electric vehicles involve additional inspection aspects.
Where accessible and feasible, EV-related checks may include:
- basic battery information (as available)
- dashboard warnings or alerts
- charging port and cable condition
However, it is important to understand:
- battery health and capacity are not guaranteed,
- software-level diagnostics may be restricted by OEM systems,
- inspections remain non-invasive.
We clearly explain what information is available and what is not, before any commitment.
Planning to export an EV? Contact us to discuss EV-specific inspection realities upfront.
What Inspections Do Not Do
To maintain trust, we are explicit about inspection limitations.
Inspections do not:
- dismantle vehicles
- guarantee mechanical condition
- eliminate the possibility of hidden or future defects
- replace local testing or certification at destination
This honesty prevents misunderstandings and builds stronger buyer confidence.
Have questions about inspection limits? Ask us. We prefer clarity over assumptions.
Tailored to Your Use Case
Not every buyer needs the same level of inspection.
Inspection scope may vary based on:
- new versus used vehicle
- intended resale or fleet use
- destination market
- risk tolerance
We help you choose an inspection approach that fits your commercial objectives, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Tell us your destination and intended use. We will recommend the most suitable inspection approach.

- clearer documentation before shipment
