Know the preparation included in your price.
Our 3, 4 and 5-spanner retail ATVs and side-by-sides share the same mechanical preparation standard. The difference is cosmetic. Each machine will be prepared to the Spanner Standard shown in its listing before handover. Warranty details are confirmed for the individual machine.
Cosmetic preparation does not replace necessary repairs or conceal damage. Actual age, hours, mileage, equipment and machine-specific condition still matter.
Mechanically serviced and prepared under our normal retail workshop standard. Main panels, trim and seats are correct and serviceable. Normal working marks and sound visible repairs may remain: there is no discretionary cosmetic refurbishment beyond essential preparation.
Same mechanical preparation standard.
The same mechanical preparation as 3 and 5 spanners, with additional visible cosmetic improvements. Panel repairs are professionally refinished or panels replaced; torn seats are recovered or replaced rather than patched. Wheels are sprayed where required, and racks and bumpers touched up as needed. Normal minor working marks may remain.
Same mechanical preparation standard.
The same mechanical preparation as 3 and 4 spanners, with the highest cosmetic preparation standard. All 4-spanner cosmetic requirements are included, plus exposed frame areas prepared, sprayed and tidied where required. The machine presents in excellent used condition throughout, allowing minor honest wear but no conspicuous defects. This is not a promise of new or as-new condition.
Same mechanical preparation standard.
Awaiting Prep means the work for the advertised standard is not yet complete. A graded machine’s preparation is only described as complete once that work has been signed off. Preparation grade and availability are shown separately.
No preparation grade has been agreed for this listing yet. Please contact us to confirm the preparation included, the price and the individual warranty terms. An undecided preparation level is not a spanner grade.
Some items are not part of this vehicle preparation programme. No vehicle preparation standard is implied for those listings. Please ask us about that item’s preparation and warranty.
The Spanner Standard is a dealer preparation classification, not a customer review score. It describes preparation, not a machine’s age, hours or equipment.
