| Final record matches approval | Follow the agreed release process |
| Material change identified | Resolve it with authorised parties |
| Relevant check unavailable | Retain the limitation and decide its effect |
Identify the release point and responsible reviewer
Agree when the selected vehicle will be reviewed and who can appropriately perform each check. The point may precede collection, a storage handover or another defined movement depending on the arrangement. The transport guide connects that decision to the route. Name the evidence needed and the party receiving it. Avoid calling any dated photograph a final check without knowing when and where it was taken. If several providers hold the car in sequence, record their relevant custody boundaries. A review should establish the accepted release state within its scope rather than make a vague claim that the entire journey has been inspected in advance.
Match the actual vehicle to the accepted record
Confirm the identity against the approved candidate, documents, quote and relevant images. Keep original CS75, FL and PLUS descriptions consistent. The vehicle release guide helps address discrepancies in parties and authority. A replacement carrying the same trim label cannot inherit the first vehicle’s approval. Ask for a revised candidate assessment if the identity changes. Preserve the relationship between the record and selected unit through suitable business handling of documents. A reference model image may help explain appearance, but it is not release evidence. Make the final packet understandable without relying on a seller’s unrecorded verbal assurance that it is the same car.
Review agreed preparation against its original finding
Check the defined work and appropriate completion results, not just whether a repair line appears as paid. The finding and correction guide links the initial concern to the agreed outcome. Have the appropriate provider perform relevant repeat assessment safely. Record limitations where an operating condition or area cannot be examined at this stage. If a concern remains, keep it open and refer it to the responsible parties before release. Do not certify the entire vehicle as flawless because one identified task passed. The original qualified inspection and current preparation evidence remain separate but connected parts of the purchase file. Retain the original inspection scope and findings alongside the relevant repeat assessment.
Confirm important functions and supplied items
Review the accepted equipment, keys, instructions and loose items with the equipment schedule. Record actual quantities and safe normal operation where specified. A substituted accessory needs agreement where its identity or usefulness changes. Clarify how loose items will be secured or handed over under the carrier’s requirements; do not presume they can remain anywhere in the cabin. If the original record included a regional digital service, preserve any unresolved availability limitation. Avoid expanding a final check into unsafe functional experiments. The purpose is to establish the relevant accepted arrangement and identify material differences before custody changes.
Record condition and comply with the actual movement requirements
Have the responsible provider document relevant current condition, visible observations and the handover state. Obtain carrier-specific preparation requirements for the actual vehicle and service. Fuel, battery, alarm, access or loose-item procedures should come from the applicable provider and instructions, not a universal rule invented for every CS75. The transit evidence guide explains why dated identity and condition records matter if a later concern arises. Note any movement between the review and final handover. Preserve an accountable sequence rather than using the earlier inspection as proof of the state at every later custody point.
Make unresolved changes a release decision
Compare the final evidence with the accepted brief and refer material discrepancies to the authorised parties. Record whether an item needs clarification, correction, a revised agreement or another vehicle. Formal acceptance and remedies depend on the actual agreement; the review does not create universal cancellation rights. Keep dates and approvals consistent, and retain the final packet for the receiving assessment. A satisfactory pre-shipment check supports its own defined stage. It does not guarantee damage-free transport, immediate clearance or future reliability. The receiving dealer can then compare the delivered condition with a traceable release record instead of reconstructing which car and preparation were originally approved.

Buyer questions
Does a final check replace the initial inspection?
No. It connects the accepted condition and completed work to the relevant release stage.
Can the seller substitute another matching trim?
A different vehicle requires a revised identity and affected assessment. The first car’s inspection does not certify the replacement.
