92 Score2019 Chevrolet Colorado Z71
Inspected Aug 2026
I just finished inspecting this 2019 Chevrolet Colorado Z71, and overall, it presents in good condition with 52,367 miles on the odometer. My inspection confidence is high at 92/100, as the truck performed well during my evaluation and the computer diagnostics came back completely clean with no trouble codes found. The mechanical systems, including the engine, transmission, and brakes, are all in excellent shape, and the tires have a healthy 10/32" of tread depth remaining across all four corners. However, I did note that the interior trim is rated as "NEEDS_ATTENTION," and while the wheels show some signs of damage, the tires themselves are not damaged. It is worth noting that while the OBDII system is currently clear, several monitors—specifically the O2 heater, heated catalyst, secondary air, and A/C refrigerant—are not yet ready. Aside from the interior trim issue, the vehicle appears to be in strong mechanical standing with no immediate maintenance items flagged during my testing.
90 Score2015 Mercedes-benz S-Class S550
Inspected Sep 2026
I recently completed a CarLens Certified Pre-Purchase Inspection on this 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550, which has 28,858 miles on the odometer. My overall confidence in this assessment is 90/100, as the vehicle is mechanically sound and performed well during my evaluation. The engine, transmission, and suspension systems are in excellent condition, and the OBDII diagnostics returned a clean report with no trouble codes. However, I noted that the interior trim is rated as "NEEDS_ATTENTION," and there is visible damage to the wheels. While the tires are in good shape with tread depths ranging from 6/32" to 7/32", the cosmetic condition of the cabin and exterior does show some imperfections. The vehicle is currently running smoothly with no immediate mechanical red flags identified during my testing. You should be aware that the interior trim will require some attention to address its current state. Please review these findings carefully to determine how you would like to proceed.
94 Score2021 Audi A6 quattro Premium Plus/Sport quattro Premium Plus
Inspected Sep 2026
I’ve finished the inspection on this 2021 Audi A6, and overall, the vehicle is in good shape with 52,649 miles on the odometer. My confidence score for this report is 94/100, as the mechanical systems, including the engine, transmission, and brakes, all checked out as excellent. The car has some notable strengths, particularly in its driving performance and overall interior condition, but there are a few specific areas that need your attention. Most importantly, the air conditioning system is currently rated as "NEEDS_ATTENTION," which means it is not functioning as expected. Additionally, I noted that the tires are mismatched, which is a significant detail for an all-wheel-drive Quattro system, and there is some damage to the wheels. The OBDII diagnostic scan came back clean with no trouble codes, and all monitors are ready, which is a positive sign for the vehicle's computer systems. You should be aware of the air conditioning issue and the tire situation, as these will be the primary items to address moving forward. Please take these findings into account as you look over the rest of the vehicle's history.
