How to find out if the interiors of a car we want to buy have undergone replacements

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Seat

In this video, we are given very precise indications to discover if the interiors of a used car, which we are considering buying, have undergone replacements. This does not necessarily mean that the car has more kilometers than it declares: the reasons why an interior, or a part of it, may be replaced can be many. However, it is important to be able to notice it. In this case, we see that the two sides of the same seat have leather (or fake leather) perforations that, if on the inside are longitudinal, on the outside (the one of the door) are horizontal. It is unthinkable that the manufacturer has mounted them like this, and in fact, if we look more closely, we see a second row of stitching holes on the outside, and slower points on the inside of the seat. The outer part of the seat wears out more quickly. What does this mean? Maybe it was just a person who made many short trips and got in and out many times. It is important to realize these details to make your own considerations.
