Practical guide
How to Write a Used-Car Advert
Describe specification, history and condition accurately without burying the useful details.
Lead with the exact derivative, mileage, ownership context, service evidence, key specification and a clear description of condition.
What matters in practice
Separate factual equipment from opinion and disclose material faults honestly instead of burying them in vague wording.
Use readable paragraphs and accurate photographs; don’t copy another advert whose specification or history may differ.
What to do next
If a point matters to your decision and the evidence is unclear, ask for the relevant record, estimate or explanation. Use the handbook or current official information for the exact car where a schedule or procedure varies, and arrange competent help for anything safety-critical.
