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.
Use the Chinese characters
睿蓝 appears in official Chinese brand material. A translated invoice or listing may use Livan, Ruilan or another spelling. Retain the original characters alongside the English name so later document checks do not lose the legal identity.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Read the manufacturer plate
Photograph the complete plate at high resolution. Record manufacturer, model designation, VIN, production date and technical fields exactly as shown; do not ask a seller to type them into chat as a substitute.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Reconcile the VIN
The 17-character VIN should agree across the vehicle, registration, inspection file, contract and export documents. Any mismatch, obscured character or substituted candidate stops the comparison until the record is corrected.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Separate related-model ancestry
The X3 Pro may be discussed beside earlier Geely or Maple products, but platform relationship does not make badges, parts catalogues, software or homologation interchangeable. Verify cross-references component by component.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Check the model-year claim
Production date, first registration and seller-described model year can be different. Use all three fields and identify any facelift or equipment change with physical evidence rather than assigning a year from appearance alone.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Carry identity into every document
Use one agreed vehicle description on the quotation, inspection scope, invoice, packing or shipping record and destination submission. Keep aliases as explanatory notes, not as competing legal names.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
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
Use the Chinese characters: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Use the Chinese characters”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Read the manufacturer plate: what should the buyer retain?
For “Read the manufacturer plate”, 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.
Reconcile the VIN: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Reconcile the VIN” 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.
