How do I run an in-person inspection without missing the order that matters?

Use a fixed sequence: exterior, tires, glass, lights, interior, electronics, engine bay, startup, idle, test drive, then paperwork.

Mark each item honestly. Not Checked is a real state — better than a pass you did not earn.

If you find a safety-critical issue in brakes, steering, structure, or restraints, stop negotiating numbers and route to a professional inspection.

Parking Lot Mode exists for this flow: guided steps, quick logging, and an offer that updates only when the finding warrants it.
