Set the decision boundary
Confirm powertrain and low-voltage battery specification from the selected vehicle. Record installation date, terminals, grounds, resting voltage, supported state-of-health test and system warnings. Observe locking, sleep, unlocking and repeated start-ready cycles after an agreed standing period.
Ownership planning starts before shipment. Map the exact hardware to local workshops, diagnostics, software, tyres, body parts and high-voltage competence.
Evidence to request
Preserve a full-module scan and identify aftermarket trackers, cameras or accessories. Connect unexplained warnings to the software and diagnostics file, and price replacement support through the A06 maintenance plan.
Send the receiver a VIN record, baseline scan, accepted condition and open maintenance actions.
What can invalidate the conclusion
A recently charged battery can survive a showroom demonstration yet fail after port storage. Opening an app repeatedly or leaving the key nearby can disturb sleep. Do not infer a traction-battery problem from one low-voltage symptom without diagnosis.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
Apply the rule without carrying assumptions
Approve only the facts demonstrated by the selected VIN and the recorded test conditions. A replacement vehicle begins a new evidence path.
Keep destination acceptance, local support and landed-cost exposure visible beside the vehicle result.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Ask a destination workshop to review exact VIN information before shipping, not merely the model name. Confirm ability to isolate high voltage, identify modules, access diagnostics, service the powertrain and calibrate installed sensors. Build a first-service list using verified fluids, filters, tyres, brakes and low-voltage components, then identify version-specific parts that could immobilise the car. Record software and update limits separately from mechanical service. A practical plan also assigns responsibility for towing, battery incidents and parts procurement when dealer channels do not cover an independent import.
For this decision, assign a source, date, reviewer and refresh point to every required field. The six controls below are not complete when merely mentioned in a sales message; each needs evidence strong enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
01 Low-voltage battery identityCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 Terminals and groundsRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Health and charge testState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 Sleep and wake cycleCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Full-module scanRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 Storage handover planState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
Before approval, read the file without relying on the original salesperson’s memory. Mark every unresolved item as a hold, give it an owner and deadline, and repeat affected checks when the vehicle, quotation, route or destination rule changes. This distinguishes a documented A06 candidate from a plausible but unverified listing.
Keep rejected evidence in the file with the reason it was rejected. This prevents an outdated screenshot, superseded quotation or mismatched brochure from returning later as if it were current proof, and it gives the destination receiver a clear audit trail.
Connect the result to the destination
Agree who maintains charge, what devices remain connected and what condition is recorded at loading. Follow vehicle, carrier and high-voltage requirements rather than inventing a universal disconnection procedure.
Record the responsible party, evidence date, expiry or recheck point and the effect on cost or approval. A complete file makes remaining uncertainty visible; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature.
Use the result in a buyer scenario
If a candidate needs repeated boosting after short standing, keep it on hold until battery condition and parasitic draw are separated. Record the correction and repeat the standing test.
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold should name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. A replacement VIN begins a new review rather than inheriting approval.

Can the traction battery always recharge the 12V battery?
Do not assume availability or behaviour; verify the exact system and condition.
Does one successful wake-up prove storage readiness?
No. Repeat after a representative standing period.
Can a tracker cause discharge?
It can contribute; measure rather than guess.
