2.4 360° Visual View
In the report, the 360° View section displays exactly the same 360° content generated during the “360° View + Car Damage” step.
The following views may be available:
- Outside 360° view — full exterior rotation of the vehicle
- Inside 360° view — interior panoramic rotation
- Open 360° view — vehicle displayed with open elements (doors, trunk, etc.)
These views allow users to visually inspect the vehicle in detail and from multiple perspectives.
In this case, the widget will display the message "360 view not available" in the center.
2.5 Exterior & Interior Condition Notes
Two annotation blocks describe cosmetic conditions:
- Exterior comment block
Indicates paint, panel, or aesthetic deviations - Interior comment block
Confirms component functionality or wear
These sections ensure transparency beyond photos.
2.6 Inspection Checklist
The inspection section confirms that the following components were evaluated:
- Road test
- Suspension
- Steering
- Lights
- Brakes
- Engine
- Body/Cosmetics
Each category is associated with detailed diagnostic results in the subsystem sections.
3. Subsystem Diagnostic Sections
Subsystem diagnostics are the core of the report. Each includes:
- Summary rating
- Component-level breakdown
- Operational measurements
- Status labels
Below is a summary of each subsystem.
3.1 Suspension Analysis
Includes visuals marking each wheel location (FR, FL, RR, RL) with numeric evaluations.
Sample metrics include:
- Ride height
- Damping ratio
- Natural frequency
- Tire pressure
- Wheel alignment
- Body roll angle
- Suspension Travel
This data helps identify handling issues or alignment deviations.
3.2 Engine Analysis
Includes fluid/part condition gauges such as:
- Engine oil
- Air filter
- Spark plugs
- Coolant
- Fuel system
Also includes performance measurements:
- Horsepower
- Torque
- Fuel Efficiency
- Compression Ratio
- Exhaust Emission
- Idle RPM
- Oil pressure
Enables buyers to estimate upcoming maintenance cycles.
3.3 Steering Analysis
Evaluates both mechanical components and driver-facing characteristics.
Metrics include:
- Power steering
- Steering rack
- Tie rods
- Ball Joints
- Steering Fluid
Also includes performance measurements:
- Steering Ratio
- Turning Radius
- Steering Effort
- On-Center Feel
- Steering Wheel Play
- Power Steering Noise
- Alignment Drift
These measurements affect safety, precision, and comfort.
3.4 Braking System Analysis
Assesses component wear and stopping capability:
- Front Brake Pads
- Rear Brake Pads
- Brake rotors
- Brake fluid
- Stopping Distance (50 km/h – 0)
- Brake Pedal Feel
- ABS Function
- Brake Balance
- Brake Fade Resistance
- Parking Brake
- Brake Line Condition
Determines whether immediate brake servicing is required.

4. Interpreting Labels & Colors
The report uses standardized status labels:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Excellent | No attention required |
| Need fixing | Requires near-term maintenance |
| Very bad | Critical issues requiring immediate attention |
Common color coding:
- Green = No issue
- Yellow = Minor attention
- Orange = Degradation
- Red = Service required
This ensures accessibility for non-technical readers.
5. Best Practices for Navigation
- Start with health gauges — understand general condition
- Inspect the photo section — verify cosmetic condition
- Review subsystem data — assess repair liabilities
- Check feature lists — confirm trim and equipment
- Validate specifications — confirm compatibility with user needs
