Set the decision boundary
For a new car, verify production date, storage, odometer, battery state, transport marks and warranty territory. For used, add ownership, repairs, charging history and battery diagnostics.
A shortlist must compare like with like. Use one condition standard, one delivery boundary and named evidence fields. Unknown values remain open rather than turning into convenient assumptions.
Evidence to request
Apply the same VIN-level specification and destination-compatibility gates to both conditions. Keep promotional domestic warranty separate from usable overseas support.
Connect payment to identity, compatibility, inspection, contract and loading gates.
What can invalidate the conclusion
A low-mileage car can have long high-state-of-charge storage, underbody impact or weak records. A new car can still be an incompatible market version.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
For a new car, verify production date, storage, odometer, battery state, transport marks and warranty territory. For used, add ownership, repairs, charging history and battery diagnostics.
A documented used car may beat a nominally new car when the latter has uncertain production age, inaccessible software or no destination support.
Price first service, software access, charging conversion risk, spare parts and destination conformity before ranking acquisition cost.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Create one row per VIN and lock the comparison columns before offers arrive. Use exact identity, powertrain, battery, charging, condition, evidence date, quotation boundary and destination compatibility. Empty fields remain visibly open. Do not let price, colour or seller deadlines remove a required column. Verify custody and seller authority before treating the vehicle as controllable. If a candidate is replaced, duplicate only the buyer requirements—not the predecessor’s inspection or approval. This preserves a defensible record when several people review the shortlist.
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 Production and mileageCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 Battery conditionRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Storage evidenceState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 Warranty territoryCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Software accessRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 Landed valueState 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
Price first service, software access, charging conversion risk, spare parts and destination conformity before ranking acquisition cost.
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
A documented used car may beat a nominally new car when the latter has uncertain production age, inaccessible software or no destination support.
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.

Questions to close before approval
Does new mean zero kilometres?
Verify odometer and logistics movement.
Can a used A06 be better value?
Yes, when history, battery and condition evidence are strong.
Will a domestic warranty transfer?
Do not assign value without written coverage for the destination and transaction route.
