I'm planning to sell my 2015 SUV privately and want to perform a thorough pre-sale inspection myself to identify any issues I can address beforehand and to be transparent with potential buyers. While I'm familiar with basic maintenance, I know I might overlook things a professional mechanic would catch. I'm looking for a comprehensive car inspection checklist that goes beyond just checking fluid levels and tire tread. What specific components should I examine in the suspension, brakes, and undercarriage for wear, and how can I properly test all the electronic features and climate control systems? Also, what's the best way to document this inspection to build buyer confidence?
