03 — The checklist
Before you buy
What we couldn’t confirm from the advert, and how to check it.
Confirm how VAT is charged
The listing carries no usable VAT information, so the purchase could fall under either the margin scheme or a normal intra-EU acquisition. The modelled figures use the less favourable regime.
What to do: Ask the seller for a specimen invoice and confirm whether VAT is separately shown (MwSt. ausweisbar) or the sale is under Sec. 25a UStG.
The import tax (ISV) is an estimate
ISV inputs are incomplete: CO2 test cycle not stated; inferred WLTP from the first registration date. Verify the stated assumptions before purchase.
What to do: Obtain the Certificate of Conformity (COC) and re-run the calculation with the official figures.
Ask for the Certificate of Conformity
Official WLTP electric range missing, so the reduced plug-in hybrid ISV rate cannot be claimed. This can move ISV by thousands of euro.
What to do: Obtain the COC. If the official range is at least 50 km and CO2 at most 50 g/km, the reduced rate applies and the ISV estimate falls sharply.
Accident history not stated
Accident history is not stated in the listing.
What to do: Run a history check (for example Carfax/Autovista) and inspect panel gaps and paint depth.
Battery health unknown
Battery state of health is unknown on an electrified vehicle, where it is a material share of the value.
What to do: Request a battery health report from a brand dealer before purchase.
Service history not shown
Full service history is not evidenced in the listing.
What to do: Request stamped service book or digital service records from the brand dealer.
