Questions for the seller

Ask for evidence linked to a specific result.

Start with the finding

Open the finding you want explained and note its event date, source and relevant detail. A question about a named agreement or two mileage readings is more useful than asking whether the car has a good history.

Ask for context

Use the report’s suggested questions as a starting point. Ask what happened, which documents support the explanation and whether the dates match. A seller’s answer adds context but does not itself change an official or commercial source record.

  1. Ask what happened and when.
  2. Compare the explanation with the dates in the report.
  3. Ask for service, repair or other relevant records.
  4. Keep unresolved questions visible while you assess the vehicle.

Keep the evidence

Keep the seller’s response and supporting documents alongside the report PDF. Mark any part of the question that remains unanswered, and seek an appropriate professional assessment for concerns about physical condition.
