Can you show Transportstyrelsen's "Fordonets skulder" (vehicle debt) service, or otherwise confirm there is no outstanding vehicle tax, congestion charge, or parking-fine debt tied to this vehicle? Unpaid vehicle debt transfers to the new owner in Sweden, not the previous one, and can lead to Kronofogden seizing the car.
Please provide full service records and receipts showing the 'full servicehistorik' claimed in the ad.
Can you show receipts/invoice for the 'nya bromsar runt om' (workshop name, date, parts used)?
Please provide the registration certificate / proof of besiktning that shows the valid inspection date (ad states valid until 2027-01-31).
Has the car ever been repaired through insurance or been in an accident? Provide insurance claim or repair documentation if so.
Can you provide the car's complete ownership history (ägarbyte) or a recent utskrift från transportstyrelsen?
What is the tyre age and tread depth per wheel, and are spare tyre/wheel included?

Never pay a deposit or the full price before you've seen and test-driven the car in person — be wary of pressure to decide immediately ("today only" pricing), or a seller who avoids meeting or an independent inspection.
Pay by bank transfer or Swish, never cash to someone you haven't met or verified, and complete the registered ownership transfer (ägarbyte) digitally at handover rather than leaving it for later.
Verify odometer reading (173,300 km) against service stamps and invoices.
Check service book entries and match workshop receipts to major services (cam/timing, transmission, etc.).
Confirm 'nya bromsar' by inspecting brake discs/pads and requesting the invoice.
Test-drive for automatic gearbox smoothness, shifts and any noises; check for leaks and smoke on acceleration.
Inspect suspension for play/noise and check tyre condition and tread depth on all four wheels.
Verify besiktning document and note any remarks; confirm the ad's stated insp.validity.
Check all electronics (GPS, parking sensors, heated seats, keyless start) for proper function.
