Count and identify physical access items
List every supplied key, emergency blade and any other documented access device. Photograph them together with a dated inventory, avoiding public disclosure of sensitive key information. Compare the quantity with the contract, not an assumed standard number for every Tayron. Ask whether any key is missing, damaged, replaced or retained by another party. A spare described as being at a different office is still an outstanding item until it is delivered and tested. Record who holds each item during inspection, inland movement and loading.
Test each key independently
Have the inspector test the keys separately so a working key nearby does not mask a faulty one. Confirm locking, unlocking and starting according to the applicable manual, including the prescribed backup method where relevant. An attractive key case does not establish a functioning transponder. Note intermittent operation, damaged buttons and battery warnings. Do not request immobiliser bypasses or unofficial security work. If one key fails, seek a qualified service diagnosis and a written completion record before describing the delivered set as fully functional.
Separate vehicle functions from online services
A phone pairing for audio does not prove remote vehicle access or a transferred connected-service account. Ask the seller to identify the application, original market, subscription status and supported functions on this exact car. A European service description may not apply to a China-market Tayron. Test locally available functions without promising that they will remain available abroad. Destination connectivity, account eligibility and service support remain separate questions. Price the vehicle on the functions you can substantiate rather than assuming every icon in the interface will work after export.
Arrange a privacy-conscious transfer
Ask the current authorised user to release ownership or access through the supported process, where such a process exists. Remove stored personal destinations, contacts and devices at the appropriate handover stage, while preserving diagnostic and inspection evidence beforehand. Never ask for the seller's password or one-time security code as a substitute for ownership transfer. The buyer should establish their own eligible account. If the market's service cannot support the destination user, record that limitation and ensure ordinary physical access remains complete and independent.
Quote missing-key work before purchase
Replacement may require proof of ownership, vehicle access, compatible parts and an authorised programming route. Request a destination service provider's confirmation rather than assuming any local locksmith can complete all work. A low-cost blank key advertised online is not the total replacement cost. Include programming, possible transport and lead time. Link the estimate to the export budget. If a previously held key is missing, ask the qualified provider how lost access is addressed under the vehicle's supported security procedure.
Keep the carrier inventory simple
The shipping handover should state which key is supplied for operations, how remaining items travel and how receipt is confirmed. Follow carrier instructions; do not hide keys in the cabin or tape sensitive access details to the windscreen. Record any separation between vehicle and document shipments. On arrival, reconcile the physical inventory before accepting it as complete. A signed list makes a missing item easier to identify than an unstructured chat containing separate photographs taken at different stages of the journey.
Close exceptions explicitly
Suppose a Tayron has two working physical keys but its original connected account cannot be reassigned overseas. That is not the same problem as a vehicle with one untested key. The first case calls for a clear limitation on online services; the second may require physical-access remediation and cost provision. Keep those outcomes separate. Set out what will be delivered, what has been tested, what remains unsupported and whether any remedy is included. A precise exception is more useful than the phrase full functions.
Buyer checklist
- Test supplied keys individually and retain the inventory.
- Confirm supported account release without sharing passwords.
- Quote missing-key work for the actual destination.
- Reconcile access items again when the vehicle arrives.
Questions and answers
Does Bluetooth pairing transfer ownership?
No. Bluetooth pairing, connected-service access and legal ownership are separate. Verify the supported account process and purchase documents independently.
Must overseas app access be included?
Only where it is confirmed and agreed. State unavailable or unverified services clearly; do not treat a China-market demonstration as proof of destination support.
Reference information
Use the applicable market and year documentation for equipment and operating limits. The references have their own market and publication scope; they do not establish the condition, fitted equipment or destination approval of an individual vehicle.
