New Jetour T2 and Traveller Pre-Delivery Export Checks

Agree the status and vehicle identity first

Ask for production date, registration status, mileage basis and any previous demonstration or movement history. Define what new means in the quotation and check that destination requirements are addressed through the appropriate professional route. A small odometer reading does not establish the relevant legal status. Match VIN, market, powertrain, body and steering side before inspecting equipment. The T2 and Traveller identity guide prevents related names from becoming assumed equivalent specifications. A car can look unused yet fail the agreed documentary or registration boundary; resolve that mismatch before presenting preparation as a completed approval.

Inspect storage and transport condition

Request dated exterior, glass, wheel, cabin and underbody observations linked to the actual VIN. Record existing marks before cleaning or corrective work obscures them. Ask how the vehicle was stored and moved, and have relevant tyre or 12V concerns assessed without assuming every stored car needs the same treatment. The 12V and storage checks retain the electrical evidence separately. Protective plastic and a polished body are not proof of damage-free transport. If consequential findings appear, use the appropriate inspection and restoration scope rather than reducing them to a cosmetic note because the seller describes the car as new.

Match fitted equipment and inventory to the order

Check the required functions against the actual market specification and the written vehicle schedule. Demonstrate supplied physical keys separately and count cables, manuals, removable accessories and promised items. Do not infer equipment from trim labels translated from another market. The key and account handover checks help separate working keys from connected-service availability. Record every substitution or missing item before payment rather than relying on a later promise to send it. New status does not make a generic manufacturer image evidence of the equipment installed on the allocated VIN.

Use normal function checks appropriate to the powertrain

For a petrol candidate, retain starting and normal operation observations under a safe supported preparation process. For a plug-in hybrid, add relevant engine and charging demonstrations without assuming its system matches the petrol transmission. The PHEV battery and charging guide identifies the additional evidence. Check important lighting, climate and cabin functions, but avoid hazardous demonstrations of emergency assistance or off-road limits. Preserve any warning and obtain its meaning through the applicable manual and qualified assessment. A brief showroom start is not a complete confirmation that the ordered vehicle functions and accessories are ready for the intended destination.

Close document and support exceptions honestly

Reconcile the candidate identity across quotation, inspection, export records and loading schedule. Name the documents supplied and the person responsible for outstanding items. Separate a dealer promise from the actual terms governing warranty or destination support. The warranty and recall checks should keep vehicle-specific evidence visible without presenting universal coverage or a campaign status unsupported by VIN lookup. Where app functions matter, record supported buyer access rather than treating a dealer login as ownership transfer. An exception accepted by the buyer should remain in the written file and not disappear when the seller signs a preparation checklist.

Approve the dated loading boundary

The final pack should identify the VIN, preparation date, condition observations, functions tested, inventory and remaining exceptions. Record who authorises release and who carries responsibility for agreed corrective work. Preserve a loading-condition record outside the vehicle so arrival evidence can be compared before repairs or fault clearing. Use the T2 shipping guide for the transport scope and arrival service guide for the first ownership actions. Repeat affected checks if damage, repair or substitution occurs after inspection. An earlier approval cannot certify a different VIN or an altered equipment package.

Example: a substitute arrives at the loading point

A seller may offer another same-colour T2 when the original allocation is unavailable. A familiar appearance does not preserve the earlier inspection, mileage or specification evidence. Request the replacement identity and repeat the relevant checks before accepting it. If the buyer cannot review the new pack in time, hold loading rather than approving from the original report. Treat missing accessories or a different market configuration as explicit changes to the commercial boundary. The orderly response protects both parties from a later dispute about which vehicle and condition the buyer actually accepted.
