The one photo shows a front three-quarter view of a clean, apparently undamaged Ertiga with no visible crash damage. The rear, the right side, the interior, the engine bay and the tyre tread are not visible, and no notes were supplied on mechanical condition.
Each repair’s “used” figure is the middle of its range. Not included: licensing, roadworthy, or getting the car home. An AI model’s reading of photos is not an inspection — view the car before you bid.
