Additional Info
Wheels / Tires / Brakes
All four tires appear to be in acceptable condition. However a tire rotation is advised to help even out the tire wear and extend the life of the tires.
(Due to tread depth difference, Front tires have 6/32” tread depth and rear have 7/32” tread depth. It is advisable to perform a tire rotation in the near future. )

DISCLAIMER
A BlueStar inspection report is not a warranty or certification of the vehicle. The report is meant to provide the user with a qualified mechanic's opinion of certain key mechanical components and items on the vehicle at the time of the inspection. The BlueStar inspection does not inspect all parts and components on a vehicle and the vehicle may currently need repairs outside the scope of the BlueStar inspection. In addition, there may be items marked as acceptable in the BlueStar inspection report at the time of inspection that may fail or need repairs in the future. Users of BlueStar inspection reports may use such reports to provide some guidance on the mechanical condition of the vehicle as of the date of the inspection, but should not rely solely on the BlueStar report for an indication of a vehicle's condition.

BlueStar nor the mechanic or related repair shop/vendor for whom the mechanic may be employed is providing any warranty or guarantee on the inspection or vehicle. The decision to mark an item acceptable or needs attention is based solely on the opinion and judgment of the inspecting mechanic and BlueStar guidelines. This inspection report is not a warranty or certification of the vehicle.
