01

Set seats for real occupants

Place the regular driver first, then check rear knees, feet, headroom, door opening and visibility. Compare generations without moving seats unrealistically.

For set seats for real occupants, place occupant setup images beside the candidate record and test whether front seats stay realistic. Tie the result to audi a3 family space and cargo buyer guide, the exact VIN, capture date, original market and operating conditions. Describe what was inspected, which source supplied the claim, what remains inaccessible and how the finding changes acceptance, repair scope or delivered cost. This prevents a nearby listing, another generation or an undated seller statement from becoming evidence for the vehicle under review.

02

Install actual child restraints

Check anchors, buckle reach, front-seat conflict and adult space. Follow destination restraint rules.

For install actual child restraints, place child-seat fit beside the candidate record and test whether Sportback roof is tested. Tie the result to audi a3 family space and cargo buyer guide, the exact VIN, capture date, original market and operating conditions. Describe what was inspected, which source supplied the claim, what remains inaccessible and how the finding changes acceptance, repair scope or delivered cost. This prevents a nearby listing, another generation or an undated seller statement from becoming evidence for the vehicle under review.

03

Load rigid luggage

Use suitcases, stroller or mobility gear with seats required for travel. Include spare/repair kit and charging cable on hybrids.

For load rigid luggage, place luggage test beside the candidate record and test whether cargo litres are not sole evidence. Tie the result to audi a3 family space and cargo buyer guide, the exact VIN, capture date, original market and operating conditions. Describe what was inspected, which source supplied the claim, what remains inaccessible and how the finding changes acceptance, repair scope or delivered cost. This prevents a nearby listing, another generation or an undated seller statement from becoming evidence for the vehicle under review.

04

Road-test comfort and costs

Assess ride, noise, climate, visibility and tyre replacement on representative roads. Larger wheels can change comfort and budget.

For road-test comfort and costs, place payload/tyre labels beside the candidate record and test whether route costs include tyres/fuel. Tie the result to audi a3 family space and cargo buyer guide, the exact VIN, capture date, original market and operating conditions. Describe what was inspected, which source supplied the claim, what remains inaccessible and how the finding changes acceptance, repair scope or delivered cost. This prevents a nearby listing, another generation or an undated seller statement from becoming evidence for the vehicle under review.

05

Own file close-out

Close this specific file by placing occupant setup images, child-seat fit and luggage test in one dated candidate record. The reviewer should be able to confirm that front seats stay realistic and that sportback roof is tested. Name the person or provider responsible for every unresolved point, add a realistic cost or consequence, and state what evidence will change the decision. If the VIN, version, condition or destination basis changes, reopen this file instead of carrying the previous conclusion into a different purchase. Give the buyer a short approval note that names the exact A3 generation, body, original market and powertrain, identifies the strongest evidence, and lists any limit that remains untested. That note becomes the handover boundary for the next commercial or technical step.
