200-Point Inspection of Chinese Cars — Export Quality Guaranteed
Every Chinese car in our catalogue passes a 200-point inspection by Chaboshi 268V and Dongchedi — two of China's leading vehicle inspection platforms — before listing, can be re-inspected on demand, and is checked once more at the port before it ships.
Inspected three times. Verified end to end.
No other exporter checks your vehicle at three independent moments. Here is how it works.
Inspection Before Listing
Before a car enters our catalogue, Chaboshi 268V and Dongchedi independently run the full 200-point standard on it. Only vehicles that pass every checkpoint are listed.
200-point check by Chaboshi 268V & Dongchedi
Two independent platforms evaluate every candidate vehicle against the full 200-point standard
Engine, drivetrain & battery
Compression, fluids, belts, turbo, transmission, and EV battery health diagnostics

Paint thickness readings, panel gaps, corrosion, upholstery, and trim condition
Photo & video documentation
100+ photos and a video walkaround attached to the listing
History & odometer verification
Accident history, service records, and odometer cross-checks where available
Buyer-Requested Re-Inspection

Final Inspection at the Port
Before the container is sealed and loaded onto the vessel, the vehicle is inspected once more at the port — confirming it is the exact car you bought, damage-free and ship-ready.
Condition re-verified at the port
Full exterior and interior walkaround confirming no damage during transport or storage
Documentation & VIN cross-check
VIN, export documents, and bill of lading matched to the vehicle and your order
Loading supervision
An inspector witnesses and records the container loading and lashing

Seal number photographed and shared with you for tracking integrity
Ship-readiness sign-off
Final 200-point sign-off before the vessel departs
What the 200-point checklist covers
Every inspection — before listing, on demand, or at the port — runs the full 200-point standard operated by Chaboshi 268V and Dongchedi.
Engine & Drivetrain
Compression test, fluid analysis, belt and hose inspection, turbo/supercharger health check, timing chain inspection, and cold-start evaluation.
Brakes & Suspension
Brake pad thickness, rotor wear, caliper function, ABS sensor diagnostics, shock absorber dampening, bushing condition, and alignment check.
Electronics & Diagnostics
OBD-II scan for all modules, battery load test, alternator output, AC system performance, infotainment function, sensor readings, and error memory.
Body & Paint
Panel gap measurement, paint thickness gauge (all panels), corrosion inspection, glass clarity, lighting function, and trim condition.
Interior & Comfort
Upholstery condition, electronics function (windows, seats, mirrors), HVAC performance, infotainment navigation test, and odometer accuracy.
Undercarriage & Frame
Frame straightness, subframe condition, exhaust system integrity, fuel line inspection, CV joint boots, and rust assessment.
The most thorough Chinese car check you can get
The full standard covers 200 checkpoints. Here is the deepest part of it — the areas that decide whether a Chinese car is export-grade.
Engine & Drivetrain
Compression & cylinder health
Cylinder compression measured and compared across all cylinders, with leak-down testing where required.
Timing, belts & turbo
Timing chain condition, serpentine belts, turbo/supercharger health and cold-start behavior.
Oil, coolant & leaks
Fluid levels, pressure tests and a full under-hood inspection for leaks or residue.
Battery Health
State of health & charge
SoH and SoC readouts verified with diagnostic tools and compared against the advertised figure.
Cell balance & range test
Cell-group voltage balancing checked, plus a real-world driving range test.
Charging & thermal management
AC/DC port function, charge-cycle test, cooling system and high-voltage cable inspection.
Chassis & Frame
Frame straightness
Laser-measured frame and sill straightness to rule out hidden structural damage.
Rust & corrosion
Undercarriage rust and corrosion assessment focused on load-bearing zones.
Subframe & mounts
Subframe condition, engine/gearbox mounts and exhaust system integrity.
Transmission & Gearbox
Gearbox & clutch
Manual, automatic or DCT gearbox operation, clutch take-up and gear-change feel.
Drivetrain & differentials
CV joints, driveshafts, differential whine and four-wheel-drive engagement.
EV reducer & e-motor
EV reducer condition, e-motor output and regenerative braking function.
Suspension & Brakes
Dampers & ride
Shock absorber dampening, spring condition and test-drive ride quality.
Brakes
Brake pad thickness, rotor wear, caliper function and ABS/ESP diagnostics.
Alignment & steering
Wheel alignment, steering feel, tie-rod ends and bushing condition.
Exterior, Body & Paint
Paint thickness
Paint thickness gauge readings on every panel to expose previous repainting.
Panel gaps & glass
Panel gap alignment, original glass check and lighting function.
Accident evidence
Visible accident evidence, filler presence and trim fitment reviewed.
Interior & Electronics
Upholstery & trim
Seat, headliner and trim condition with wear and moisture checks.

Documents & Vehicle History
VIN & registration
VIN verified against registration documents and cross-checked with Chinese vehicle databases.
Insurance & claims
Insurance claim records checked to exclude vehicles with undisclosed accidents or frame damage.
Export eligibility
Ownership, legal status and export eligibility confirmed before listing.
Hidden accident histories are the #1 risk in Chinese car imports
Cargration cross-references Chinese domestic databases — roadworthiness records, insurance claim histories and platform inspection logs — so the car you buy has no hidden accident or frame-damage history.
Insurance claim records
Every claim registered against the vehicle's VIN is verified across insurer databases.
Accident & frame damage excluded
Vehicles with bent frames, unrepaired crash damage or structural repair are refused outright.
Roadworthiness history
Annual China MOT-equivalent inspection history is pulled and reviewed.
Odometer cross-checks
Mileage verified across inspection platforms, service records and ECU data.
Our no-hidden-history guarantee
The verified history report ships with your order. If a hidden accident or structural repair is later found, we replace the vehicle or refund you in full.
No exporter checks a car at three independent moments
Only inspected cars enter the catalogue
The pre-listing inspection by Chaboshi 268V and Dongchedi filters out substandard vehicles before you ever see them.
Fresh proof before you commit
The on-demand re-inspection gives you an up-to-date 200-point report on your exact vehicle — no surprises.
A final gate at the port
The pre-shipment inspection proves the car that leaves is the car you bought — damage-free and correctly loaded.
Independent accountability
All three inspections are performed by external platforms, independent of the sales process. No conflicts of interest.
Our guarantee
If a vehicle fails any of the three inspections, we do not ship it. Period.
We source an alternative vehicle that meets our 200-point standard at no additional cost to you. If we cannot find a suitable replacement within 14 days, your deposit is fully refunded.
This guarantee applies to every vehicle we export — whether it is a $3,000 used sedan or a $120,000 luxury SUV.
