This file focuses on long-term support exposure. Its approval points are parts route, diagnostics, high-voltage service, with destination and commercial checks kept visible.
Decide long-term support exposure
Map local support for body parts, glass, lighting, brakes, suspension, electronics, battery cooling and diagnostics. For PHEV, add engine and emissions parts. For BEV, add high-voltage repair and charging support.
Use the section outcome to decide whether parts route is confirmed or needs another document before the candidate advances.
Evidence for long-term support exposure
For this long-term support exposure review, use battery diagnostics, charging behaviour, thermal records and underside evidence rather than displayed range alone. For the PHEV path in long-term support exposure, inspect the combustion and hybrid systems together, including cold start, fluids, emissions readiness and transitions.
Save the supporting file under the candidate VIN and label how it establishes diagnostics; do not rely on an unreferenced chat image.
Destination test for long-term support exposure
Before choosing on long-term support exposure, verify PHEV service and Software region in the destination, including any local registration or service limitation.
Record who will confirm phev service and by what date, because unresolved destination assumptions become expensive after loading.
Commercial control for long-term support exposure
For long-term support exposure, compare the vehicle and Resale market on the same delivery boundary, then add inspection, freight and destination charges without hiding them in a headline number.
State the accepted result for phev service in the written approval record.
Apply long-term support exposure to a candidate
Build a support file before shipment. Identify at least one route for routine mechanical parts, collision parts, glass, lighting, tyre size, diagnostic access and high-voltage work. For the PHEV, add engine, fuel, exhaust and emissions components; for the BEV, focus on battery cooling, charge-port hardware and power electronics. Ask whether a workshop will accept an independently imported market version and whether software or security access blocks repair. Record lead times and minimum order quantities for critical parts. A low purchase price is poor value if a minor lamp, windscreen or charging fault can immobilise the vehicle for months.
Turn this field method into a dated worksheet and keep it with the candidate record so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision.
Approve or reject long-term support exposure
Assign a response for the first immobilising fault: who can diagnose it, how parts will be ordered and what transport may be needed. This turns a vague concern into measurable exposure.
Retain the final outcome with the VIN file and reopen the review if the candidate, destination or commercial boundary changes.
Record the approval decision
Approve long-term support exposure only when parts route, diagnostics, high-voltage service are supported by candidate-specific evidence and phev service, software region, resale market have an identified owner. Pause if the seller will not connect the VIN to the vehicle, documents or condition record, or if the destination answer depends only on another market's brochure. Record the precise missing test, quotation line or document. Resolve it before payment or reject the candidate; do not carry an undefined technical or commercial issue into shipping.

Changan Q05 Ownership Risks for Import Buyers: buyer questions
Which support should be mapped before purchase?
Body, glass, brakes, suspension, diagnostics, software, charging and high-voltage repair; add engine and emissions support for PHEV.
Can an independent workshop service a Q05?
Possibly, but confirm diagnostic access, safety competence, data, parts and high-voltage procedures rather than assuming.
What is the largest avoidable ownership risk?
Buying an unsupported generation or charging/software specification because the listing used a familiar Q05 name.
