2
  • Negative factor

Missing information

Supplying these would narrow the ranges above and raise the confidence score.

  • Current tyre brand, age and tread depth
  • Whether the original exhaust system is included in the sale
  • Recent brake and clutch service records

Recommended next steps

What this seller would do before listing the car.

  1. 1Confirm whether the original exhaust is retained and include it in the listing.
  2. 2Add dated photographs of the service book and most recent invoices.
  3. 3Note the panel repair openly in the listing — disclosed history is easier to price than discovered history.
