BYD is the world's #1 EV maker. As millions enter the used market, risks grow.
High mileage tampering rates in Chinese used car markets. We cross-reference service records and inspection data to verify true kilometers.
Southern China floods damage thousands of vehicles annually. Flood-repaired BYDs are exported without disclosure — especially dangerous for EVs.
Even BYD's Blade Battery degrades over time. Verify capacity retention, charging cycles, and remaining warranty before buying a used BYD EV.
Verify exact specs, emission standards, and production origin. Critical for customs clearance in the EU, Middle East, CIS, and ASEAN markets.
BYD has issued multiple global recalls. Check if the specific vehicle you're looking at has unresolved safety issues.
As Chinese exports surge, VIN cloning schemes have emerged. Our check digit validation catches identity fraud attempts.
