* Virtually no wear and tear: The paint is flawless, the interior is pristine (no stains, tears, or fading), and all mechanical components are in perfect working order.
* Original parts: Most, if not all, parts are the original factory components. Any replacements would be indistinguishable from the originals.
* Low mileage: A very low number of miles driven, reflecting minimal use.
* Well-maintained: Meticulously cared for and serviced throughout its life. Properly stored and protected from the elements.
* Documented history: Ideally, there's comprehensive documentation proving its history, including service records and ownership.
It's important to note that "mint condition" is subjective. While a car may be described as such, it's not a standardized, officially graded term. A buyer should always inspect a vehicle thoroughly and, ideally, have a professional mechanic do so as well, before purchasing a car described as being in mint condition.
