Match the specification to the vehicle
Record the VIN, model, body style and production details. Preserve complete equipment codes and package descriptions where available. Keep a trim name as context rather than assuming it identifies every convenience feature on the car you are viewing.
Inventory the small practical items
Check the storage fittings, luggage organisers, covers and other accessories mentioned in the advert. Ask which are removable and included in the sale. Photograph the items and any required fittings. A compartment or mounting point does not prove that the accessory intended for it will be supplied.
Compare seating and luggage arrangements
Ask for a parked demonstration of relevant seat-folding and luggage-floor arrangements following the instructions. Check whether the actual layout suits your use, and record missing pieces or uncertain operation. Keep factory configuration, accessory inventory and condition findings separate. This avoids mistaking an original convenience-package description for a complete record of everything present today.
