One badge should make one clear claim

• Seller verified

  The seller completed the identity verification recorded for their account. It says nothing by itself about the vehicle or its documents.

• Documents checked

  Staff recorded a document check for this listing. Buyers must still inspect the originals and confirm ownership before a transaction.

• Verified dealer

  The dealership and its submitted business evidence passed the platform review. Individual vehicles still need their own checks.

• Inspected

  An Apna Wheels inspector completed a versioned checklist and report for the vehicle. Read the report—the badge is not a warranty.

• Each checked point is scored: Good = 1, Average = 0.6, Needs attention = 0.
• Points are weighted within their category; categories then count equally, so a long list of small checks cannot outweigh the brakes.
• Points the inspector could not check are left out of the calculation entirely rather than counted as faults.
• An overall score is only published when at least 60% of the checklist was checked. Below that the findings are shown without a headline number.

Every published report includes its scoring version and per-category results so a number can be traced back to the recorded findings.

Meet in a safe place, compare the seller’s identity with original documents, inspect the chassis and engine numbers, verify transfer requirements with the relevant authority and do not send money only because a badge appears on a listing.
