What “inspected” means
History
Service book, number of owners, provenance, and consistency of the mileage with successive readings. An unexplained gap rules the vehicle out.
Roadworthiness test
Its date appears on every vehicle page. Test expired or major defect unrepaired: the vehicle is not listed.
Declared condition
Bodywork, interior, tyres, wear parts. Every known defect is on the listing and the order form; a declared defect does not give rise to a warranty claim.
The paperwork
Registration document of the country of origin, European certificate of conformity where applicable, no lien or retention of title. No complete paperwork, no listing.
See it before you buy
You can test the vehicle at the logistics centre before deciding. Without a visit, your fourteen days of withdrawal run from handover.
