Why this issue is happening
If the image URL for your vehicle redirects to a non-vehicle image or an image that doesn’t match the vehicle’s description, you may receive an error. Vehicle listings that contain invalid images will be disapproved. In order to list vehicles for sale on Google, you must use the image link [image_link] attribute to redirect to an image that clearly represents the vehicle being sold.
How to fix your issue
In order to resolve the issue, add an image that matches the vehicle’s description.
