EXTERIOR
Overall looks nice
Rear bumper is a slightly different colour, this is the only major imperfection to the body, there are others but they aren't so obvious
Slight paint chips on right rear quarter
Small scratch on top of driver's door
Front bumper has been repainted in the past, paint slightly uneven on left corner
Wheels have some of the chrome bubbling on the inner edge of the spokes
Exhaust looks good, tips and mufflers look almost new
Headlights quite clear, well above average for an Aristo
Small paint chips on lower edges of doors, and light scratches on lower left rear door

INTERIOR
Good condition, wear to seats looks like a low mileage car
Steering wheel has some wear to the top that is less consistent with the low mileage but looking at everything else I'd say it is genuine, the top of the steering wheel where the wear is might be due to drying out in the sun
Dashboard looks good
Shift knob no wear
Seats no wear
Passenger and centre sun visor still have original plastic wrapping from the factory
Sunroof works fine
Ceiling good
Rear seat good
Passenger rear door has noticeable scratches
Boot good, original floor mats, exhaust and suspension is included
Overall very nice, slight wear to the top of the steering wheel and the rear passenger door are the only imperfections, otherwise interior condition is consistent with a low mileage car

ENGINE BAY
Clean, looks good
No oil leaking around the PCV valve in the usual Aristo place
No evidence of fluid leaks could be found
Coolant good
Oil fine, but could do with a change
Timing cover removed, timing belt looks good

UNDERBODY
Good condition
No evidence of fluid leaks, dents or rust
Suspension is aftermarket but I could not see the brand. It's green so could possibly be Tien, but not sure

Overall a nice condition car, and despite the little bit of wear to the steering wheel I feel the mileage is genuine. I think rear bumper should be painted and the steering wheel repaired or replaced however.
