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: Start with the exact market in the Livan/Ruilan identity guide, test fitted electronics through the infotainment and regional compatibility guide, and record damage evidence in the pre-export inspection checklist.
Match the correct market equipment
Save the official trim sheet or conformity record for the vehicle's source market and production date. Do not import an airbag count, electronic system or crash-rating claim from a distributor page that describes another homologated version.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Inspect the restraint system
Count airbags from verified documentation and visible labels, inspect belts and pretensioner areas, and scan restraint modules with suitable equipment. Warning-lamp behaviour, crash data, replaced trim or resistance devices require specialist review.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Verify stability and brake functions
Confirm ABS, EBD, ESP, traction control and hill-start functions from correct documentation and dashboard self-tests. Diagnostic codes, wheel-speed faults or warning lamps should remain open until repaired and retested, not simply cleared.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Check child-restraint provisions
Locate ISOFIX anchors, inspect covers and surrounding seat structure, and verify belt operation. Destination child-seat rules and top-tether requirements can differ, so physical anchors and local acceptance must both be established.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Test camera and parking support
Operate the reverse camera, dynamic guidelines and any fitted parking sensors. Check image stability, lens damage, screen delay and warning tone. Equipment listed for one market may be absent or integrated differently on another version.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Separate assistance from autonomy
Cruise control, speed limiting, lighting functions and a reversing camera assist a driver but do not establish advanced automated driving. Describe each fitted function accurately and preserve the owner's responsibility and destination compliance questions.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
Read the start-up sequence
Record the dashboard before ignition, during self-test and after the engine starts. Missing lamps can be as important as illuminated ones. Pair the video with a diagnostic scan and VIN so a cleared fault, replaced cluster or edited clip cannot be mistaken for a complete safety-system check.
Look behind cosmetic repair
Inspect steering-wheel, dashboard, seat and pillar trim for disturbed seams, mismatched texture or damaged fasteners. Compare structural measurements and paint findings with restraint-system data. A neat cabin does not prove airbags and pretensioners remained intact after a collision.
Create a function matrix
List every claimed feature with four columns: expected for the verified market, visibly fitted, function-tested and diagnostically clear. Label untested items explicitly. This keeps a seller brochure, physical hardware and working condition from collapsing into one unsupported yes/no claim.
Handover unresolved safety work
State the exact warning, code, unavailable test or missing document, together with who must close it and before which payment or shipping gate. Safety-critical uncertainty should not be converted into a discount without a technically credible repair and retest route.
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
Match the correct market equipment: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Match the correct market equipment”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Inspect the restraint system: what should the buyer retain?
For “Inspect the restraint system”, 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.
Verify stability and brake functions: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Verify stability and brake functions” 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.
