Questions to ask the seller
- 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 all service invoices for the recent 'stor service' (dates, workshop name and items: oil, luftfilter, tändstift) and receipts for any other major work.
- Can you show the most recent besiktning certificate (besiktning) that the ad references as 'Ny besiktad UA'?
- Please provide official documentation to confirm odometer reading (service book stamps, Transportstyrelsen printout or equivalent).
- Has the car ever been repaired through insurance after an accident? If so, provide insurance/repair documentation.
- Are the present summer and winter wheels included in the price, and will you replace the 'dåligt vinterdäck' before sale or credit for replacement?
- Can you provide the full registration history or a VIN/Transportstyrelsen extract so ownership changes and import status can be verified?
What to check in person
- 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 VIN on car (wba6d6103gd989833) matches the service documents and registration papers.
- Check and measure tread depth and condition of both summer and winter tyres; confirm winter set condition per seller note.
- Test-drive focusing on automatic gearbox smoothness, engine performance and unusual noises; check for smoke or hesitation.
- Inspect for accident repair signs: paint overspray, panel gaps, inconsistent welds and replaced body panels.
- Check brakes for noise and measure pad/rotor remaining thickness; test for pulling or vibration.
- Confirm functionality of major electronics (360° camera, Night Vision, Head‑Up display, Bang & Olufsen sound).
- Request to see and photocopy recent service invoices and the current besiktning certificate.
