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.
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.
The import tax (ISV) is an estimate
ISV is computed from partly inferred inputs (for example the CO2 test cycle was inferred from the registration date).
What to do: Confirm the CO2 figure and test cycle against the COC.
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.

ISV and VAT figures are decision-support estimates produced from listing data. Actual treatment depends on the purchase invoice, the seller's VAT status, the vehicle homologation and Certificate of Conformity, the registration date and current Portuguese law. Confirm with a customs agent and an accountant before committing capital. Decision-support estimate only. The final VAT treatment depends on the actual purchase invoice, the seller's VAT status and current law; confirm with an accountant before committing capital.
