Separate standard equipment from the supplied items
Ask for the applicable owner information or build specification before deciding which items are missing. Some proposals may include a spare-wheel arrangement, while others may use a tyre mobility kit; verify the actual configuration rather than transferring expectations from another market. Keep the expected equipment and the items physically inspected in separate columns so that discrepancies are easy to identify.
If the enquiry asks for a basic kit list, clarify whether that means emergency tyre equipment or the car’s standard trim features. The Seltos equipment checklist addresses installed functions. This handover list concerns removable items supplied with the individual vehicle. Neither a brochure photograph nor a seller’s statement that the car is complete should replace an inventory tied to that vehicle.
Inspect the spare and its compatibility if supplied
Request clear photographs of the spare wheel, tyre markings, storage position and securing arrangement. Ask a qualified service provider to confirm that the assembly is appropriate for the actual car and its fitted configuration. A wheel that fits into the storage well does not necessarily meet the vehicle’s requirements, and a used spare can need assessment even when it looks unused.
Record any restrictions stated in the applicable vehicle and tyre information. Do not present a temporary spare as an unrestricted replacement or promise compatibility from diameter alone. The tyre replacement guide keeps fitment and cost questions together. If the buyer requires a particular spare arrangement, establish suitability and secure storage before agreeing that it will be added to the order.
Count the tools rather than assuming a complete set
Where a wheel-changing setup is specified, ask the inspector to identify the appropriate jack, operating tools and relevant wheel-fastener equipment. Include any locking-wheel-key requirement if applicable. The presence of one tool in a photograph cannot establish that the entire supplied set is usable, compatible and complete. Record missing or damaged items individually rather than using a broad deduction for accessories.
Keep this as an inventory check, not an improvised lifting demonstration. Vehicle lifting and roadside procedures must follow the applicable instructions and suitable working conditions. If a seller proposes an alternative tool, ask the responsible provider to verify suitability. Loose items also need an appropriate storage arrangement so the handover does not introduce unsecured equipment into the cabin or luggage compartment.
Review a tyre mobility kit on its own terms
If a mobility kit is supplied, identify its compressor, sealant, connections and instructions. Check the sealant condition and expiry information where marked, and confirm that consumables can be supported at destination. Do not assume a previously used bottle has been replaced or that a kit borrowed from another car is suitable merely because its power connector appears to fit.
Kia’s general tyre-mobility guidance explains that such kits have limitations; they do not make every damaged tyre repairable. Use the vehicle-specific instructions for operation and restrictions. This purchasing review should record what is supplied and serviceable, not promise a permanent repair. If the customer prefers a spare, obtain a verified proposal rather than removing the kit before the alternative is established.
Keep keys and other agreed accessories in the same inventory
Record the number of keys, manuals, removable cargo items and any specifically agreed accessories. If phone connectivity relies on a cable or adapter, name the device and include it in the supplied-item record. An accessory used during a demonstration is not automatically included in the sale. Ask the seller to distinguish demonstration equipment from the items that will travel with the vehicle.
The CarPlay connection guide helps define that distinction for phone equipment. For a dealer batch, repeat the inventory for each unit rather than accepting one photograph as proof for all cars. Where items are packed separately for transport, label the package with the vehicle reference and confirm the count at the relevant transfer point.
If a second physical key is required, the one-key purchase budget review budgets a supported completed remedy rather than a blank component.
Close missing-item questions before dispatch
Agree who supplies each missing item, whether its price is included and how completion will be recorded. If the buyer accepts the car without a particular accessory, state that exception explicitly. A promise that the receiving dealer can easily find something locally is not the same as a sourced, compatible replacement with an agreed cost and delivery time.
Use the export handover record to reconcile the final inventory with the accepted quotation. Keep dated photographs and the receiving checklist together. For new cars, this confirms the delivery package; for used cars, it also resolves losses or substitutions during previous ownership. A precise list gives the dealer a practical way to explain the vehicle’s supplied equipment without overstating what was originally standard.
