A 2023 BYD Atto 3 that genuinely was as good as the listing said
Clean inspection, clean negotiation — proof of why a 'no-fault' report is worth it
2023 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range — 22,400km
The setup
Private seller in Chatswood. Asking $38,500. Single owner, garaged, full BYD dealer service history. The buyer was sceptical — felt the price was 'too clean'.
What the inspector found
Nothing. Every checkpoint passed. Battery SoH 94.2% — right where it should be for a 22,400km car of that build year. No paint repair anywhere. Original tyres at 6mm. Service history matched the seller's claims exactly.
Outcome
The buyer purchased the next day at the full $38,500 asking price. We delivered the report to her solicitor as part of the settlement pack. She's still driving it.
"Best $349 I spent. Now I sleep at night. And when I sell, I have proof of where it was at 22,000km."

Private seller. Asking $42,990. Listing claimed 'genuine 480km range'. Our AVILOO flash test put the pack at 71.8% SoH — well outside warranty and a known precursor to module failure.

Dealer listing, 'no accident history'. Our paint-depth gauge read 380μm across the tailgate and rear quarter — twice the factory thickness. The dealer eventually disclosed a Cat 3 repairable write-off.
