The purpose of this worksheet is to turn a broad model-name search into a decision that can be checked, quoted and handed over without silently changing assumptions.
Continue the evidence route: Confirm the powertrain through the 1.5L, CVT and manual guide, carry findings into the maintenance plan, and compare candidate condition in the inspection checklist.
Identify the installed transmission
Use vehicle records, labels and diagnostics; do not apply manual or another model’s transmission advice.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Review service and repair evidence
Record fluid-related work, leaks, parts, software or adaptation procedures and workshop invoices.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Scan before driving
Preserve faults, warning history, live data availability and recently cleared evidence.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Test low-speed control
Observe selection, creep, take-up, reverse, parking manoeuvres, incline behaviour and repeatability.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Test under safe road load
Record acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, noise, vibration and temperature or warnings.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Inspect after the drive
Recheck leaks, smell, warnings, scan results and whether symptoms change warm.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
State the test conditions
Speed, temperature, gradient and load make an observation reproducible.
Do not diagnose by internet reputation
The selected transmission needs its own evidence and correct service information.
Price diagnosis separately
A discount does not identify whether a symptom needs service, repair or rejection.
Repeat affected checks after work
A fluid change or cleared code must be followed by the agreed road and diagnostic sequence.
Primary market references
These official pages describe their own markets. Confirm the selected VIN and destination rules before using a figure.
Close the note with a decision record
Write the selected candidate, rejected alternatives, evidence reviewed, unresolved questions, responsible person and next deadline. If another vehicle replaces the candidate, reopen identity, inspection, cost and destination checks. A copied conclusion is not valid for a different VIN.

Questions buyers should still ask
Identify the installed transmission: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Identify the installed transmission”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Review service and repair evidence: what should the buyer retain?
For “Review service and repair evidence”, write down what is verified and what remains an assumption. An open point may be acceptable, but it must stay visible in the price, inspection scope or handover conditions.
Scan before driving: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Scan before driving” if the vehicle, destination, route or responsible supplier changes. Conclusions belong to the candidate and dated evidence set; they should not be copied to a replacement VIN.
