Will my dossier look the same?

Yes in structure: score, photos with notes, condition per part, seller claims, equipment, red flags, price bands, and the check-in-person list. Sections without evidence are marked as gaps, not hidden.

Is this a VIN history report?

No. Nothing here comes from registries, insurers, or police records. Everything is read from the seller’s photos and text, plus live comparable listings.

Does the dossier replace a viewing?

No. It tells you where to look first. Confirm the odometer, the repainted panels, and anything the photos cannot prove standing next to the car.

Dossier summary

Same shape as a live AutoProvera dossier: score first, evidence second, a checklist last. Every finding names the photo it comes from.

Condition score

7.4 / 10

Good

Exterior 40%, interior 20%, glass 15%, tyres and wheels 15%, visible mechanical 10%. Penalties for smoke, burns, and leaks were not applied: none visible.

Listing trust

7 / 10

Consistent

The gallery matches the text on engine, gearbox, and trim. Three claims cannot be confirmed, one is contradicted.

Photo coverage

9 / 12 zones

3 missing

No dashboard with the engine running, no roof, no spare wheel well. Those gaps are on your list.

Price verdict

11% above market

Fair to high

Asking €16,900 against a market band of €15,200. Comparable estates with DSG and this mileage sit between €13,900 and €16,400.

Seller consistency

6 / 10

Ask questions

“No paintwork” is contradicted by the front bumper texture. “Full service history” has no photo of a service book.

Check in person

5 items

Take with you

Front bumper in daylight, tyre date codes, odometer, service book, panoramic roof. Nothing on this list needs a lift.

Eight comparable estates, price by mileage. This car sits at 148k for €16,900.

Check in person

Five things to verify standing next to the car, in order. Bring a torch and a tyre tread gauge.

Walk around the front bumper in daylight
High
Look for a gloss step against the wings and overspray on the grille surround. Ask when and why it was painted.
Read the tyre date codes on the front axle
Medium
Inner shoulder wear points to alignment. Budget for two tyres and an alignment if the DOT is older than 2021.
Turn the ignition on and photograph the odometer
Medium
Compare with 148,000 km in the ad and check for warning lamps. The gallery never shows the cluster.
Ask for the service book and the last invoice
Medium
Full history is claimed but not shown. DSG oil service at 60k intervals is the one to look for.
Open the panoramic roof
Low
Claimed, never photographed. Check it opens, closes, and does not rattle.

Repair hints

Rough cost notes for what is already visible. Local workshop prices, not quotes.

Two front tyres and alignment€220 to €320
Rear bumper scuff, smart repair€60 to €120
Two kerbed rims, refurbish€80 to €140

Cannot confirm

What the photos cannot prove. Not invented, not assumed clean.
