The bakkie looks tidy in the one photo. The notes list cosmetic problems: the front bumper and bonnet are misaligned and scratched, the clear coat is peeling, and the antenna is loose. One front three-quarter photo can't show the rear, the other side, the interior, the tyres or the extent of the peeling clear coat.
Each repair’s “used” figure is the middle of its range. Not included: the auction house’s buyer’s commission, admin fee and VAT, or getting the car home. An AI model’s reading of photos is not an inspection — view the car before you bid.
