None of your sentences sounds natural to me. I'd expect to see something like this, "'Judging by its appearance, I'd say this car hasn't been very well looked after".

By Look "The car was judged by appearance."
"The car was judged by appearances."
"The car was judged by look."
"The car was judged by looks."
The first two sentences are correct English. What about the last two?

"When you become more experienced in cooking steaks, you'll be able to judge the doneness by look and feel. When you press the thickest part of the meat with your finger, this is what the meat will feel like-rare: meat feels soft and yielding; medium: slightly resistant; well-done: resistant."
So, the new article is not well written?
