Take questions. Bring back answers.

Build a practical viewing sheet. Tick what you have covered and write down the things you still need verified.

Your entries stay in this page’s memory and disappear when you reload or leave. Print or save as PDF before closing.

Car / advert reference

Before you goConfirm exact model, year and engineAsk for vehicle identification and history documentsArrange permission, insurance and time for a test drive

At the carCompare identification with the documentsRecord visible paint, trim and body discrepanciesAsk a specialist to assess structure and corrosionNote tyre condition and check the spare arrangements

History & useReview dated invoices alongside recorded mileageAsk what work is outstanding and who last inspected itRecord starting, driving or warning-light concernsCheck which keys and handbook come with it

Before decidingSeparate seller statements from things you verifiedGet quotes or a specialist inspection for unresolved pointsConfirm what is included and how collection will workLeave a repair reserve in the budget

Questions, observations and follow-up quotes

A prompt sheet is not a roadworthiness assessment. Arrange an independent inspection of structural and safety-critical areas. Never go under an unsupported vehicle.
