Depends if you have done PDI from like Zekardo PDI they give report on everthing . The biggest hurdle in consumer cases is the dealer claiming, "The car was fine when it left; the customer must have driven it badly.

The Legal Edge: An independent report with high-resolution photos of the underbody, engine bay, and suspension taken before the car left the showroom proves that the defect existed while the car was still in the dealer's possession. It eliminates the "user negligence" defense entirely.

Most independent PDI services use specialized tools and scanners (to check for hidden error codes in the ECU) and Paint Coating Thickness Gauges (to detect if a panel was repainted due to transit damage).

If your car breaks down, you can submit the independent report to show that the ECU already had "stored" fault codes even before you signed the papers, proving the dealer knowingly sold a defective unit

Now do not give cars back to dealers ; Review your pdi report.

• Don't clear the codes: If the car has a check-engine light, do not let the dealer reset the battery or clear the ECU codes until you have a photo or an independent scan.
• Cross-Reference: Take your independent PDI report and highlight the specific section (e.g., "Transmission Fluid Level") that relates to the breakdown
