Establish the distance and application behind the offer
Record original designation, production context, seating, battery application and declared distance with the actual unit reference. The identity foundations prevent an attractive amount being compared across unidentified configurations. Ask what supports the displayed reading and which records add context. An odometer photograph establishes a display at that moment, not an uninterrupted use history. Preserve discrepancies for clarification without inventing an explanation or accusing a party without evidence. If production and first-registration dates differ, keep them separate rather than turning one year label into complete age context. A lower-reading alternative also needs the same discipline. The customer can prefer a distance band while remaining open to supported exceptions, but the dealer should not treat either a high or low headline as automatic proof of eligibility, condition or remaining service life.
Build the relevant use and work record
Ask for available dated service and previous-use information linked to the actual car. The range-extender maintenance guide keeps the installed engine and recorded work identifiable. A service stamp or component invoice can describe a specific activity without establishing the whole vehicle today. Retain record gaps and the limits of declarations. A car with a longer but coherent record can be a useful comparison with one that has travelled less but is poorly documented; neither should receive blanket approval. Ask whether work was routine, a remedy for a concern or part of preparation, and which current findings it informs. Do not imply that distance alone tells how often the battery was charged or how every system was used. The record should explain what is supported and what remains unknown, rather than reconstruct an assured history from a number.
Give battery and other material findings their own scope
Obtain appropriate current evidence for relevant systems, with the responsible assessor, methods and limits retained. The battery report guide distinguishes a bounded health result from complete electric-system or damage clearance. Keep the actual unit, application and date tied to the report. A favourable metric cannot erase reported underbody consequences or establish every future use result; the underbody and battery assessment guide addresses that separate concern. Mechanical response and cabin condition remain independent too. Ask what was examined and what needs further competent evaluation. Do not assign a universal fault list, remaining distance or repair allowance from mileage. The useful value decision requires the evidence the candidate can support today, leaving material unassessed items visible before a lower amount is treated as attractive preparation-ready stock.
Retain the buyer’s actual task and receiving support
Hold required people and bags under normal settings and confirm wanted useful functions on the offered unit. The occupied seating foundations prevent a clean interior view from substituting for the family assignment. Ask receiving providers about actual support for the installed systems, including scope and relevant terms. Familiarity with other ROX vehicles is not a commitment for every imported application or proposed remedy. Keep practical charging access independent of distance and health labels. A short working session cannot establish every receiving site or all current condition. If the buyer is considering a comfort or battery premium, value that confirmed useful benefit separately from use history. Higher distance can be a deliberate concession where essentials and relevant evidence are accepted, but should not silently weaken a hard passenger, function or condition requirement.
Compare the accepted prepared alternatives
Align vehicle amount, completed work, supplied equipment and delivery boundary, with currency and date. The readiness guide keeps unquoted work and proposed remedies outside the supported finished result. A discounted higher-reading car is not automatically economical to prepare; a lower-reading one is not automatically preferable either. Record what the buyer accepts and what further evidence would close selection. Avoid universal resale or durability promises based on a distance threshold. Put permitted use, original application and essential findings in a ROX 01 enquiry. If another candidate replaces it, obtain that unit’s own records rather than carrying approval through a similar reading or model label. The final recommendation should identify the supported value and remaining conditions, without presenting mileage as a diagnosis, fixed repair budget or substitute for the whole individual buying record.

Questions buyers ask
Does high mileage prove a ROX 01 is a poor purchase?
No universal conclusion follows. Review original application, coherent records, relevant current findings and actual prepared scope within the buyer’s limits.
Can a battery metric replace the maintenance history?
No. It describes its assessed scope, while recorded use, range-extender work, damage and other current findings answer separate questions.
