How to Inspect and Verify Quality on Used Jetour T2 SUVs Before Shipping

You can verify a used Jetour T2 from thousands of kilometres away if you ask for the right evidence. This checklist covers documents, body, cabin, drivetrain and — for the i-DM — the battery. Use it with any exporter, including us.

Do the documents match the car?

• VIN plate photo, matched to the registration certificate and the proforma invoice
• First-registration date — this sets the car's age for your customs
• Odometer photo with the ignition on
• Service records where available

What should you check on the body?

Ask for photos from all four corners plus close-ups of the bumpers, wheel arches and underbody. The T2's boxy panels show uneven gaps easily, so look for gaps that differ left to right — a sign of repair. Check tyre tread and that all four tyres match. Underbody photos matter most on 4WD units used off-road.

What should you check inside?

• The 15.6-inch screen and 10.25-inch cluster switched on, with no warning lights after start-up
• Seat wear on the driver's side bolster and steering wheel — it should match the mileage
• 360-degree camera and air conditioning working
• Panoramic sunroof (where fitted) opening and closing

How do you check the engine and gearbox remotely?

Ask for a cold-start video: the engine should start cleanly without long cranking or rattles. Then a short drive video showing smooth shifts. Most T2s use a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox; jerky low-speed pulls can point to a gearbox needing attention. 2025 Conquer trims use an 8-speed automatic.

How do you check the 4WD system?

On 2.0T 4WD units, ask the inspector to cycle the drive modes on the dashboard and engage the rear differential lock, filming the indicator on the cluster. Mud or heavy scratches underneath show off-road use; that is not a problem in itself, but it should be priced in.

How do you check an i-DM battery?

For the T2 i-DM, ask for the battery state of charge shown on the screen, the electric range estimate at that charge, and a short video of the car accepting a charge. The battery is LFP and liquid-cooled; a car that charges normally and shows a sensible range for its charge level is a good sign.

Should you use third-party inspection?

For larger orders or first purchases, yes. An independent inspector checks the car against the report before loading. We arrange this on request. Some destinations also require their own pre-shipment inspection — check your market page.
