Test Drive Agreement & Condition Report – Used Car | Word/PDF/Excel

Test Drive Agreement & Condition Report for Used Cars – ready-to-use, editable documents for a temporary and free test drive between private individuals prior to a potential car purchase. The package helps the seller and the person taking the test drive clarify terms, check insurance matters, and document the car's condition, mileage, keys, and any incidents.

Important limitation: This is not a sales contract, rental agreement, insurance certificate, or technical inspection report. The template does not automatically grant the right to drive a car with a driving ban and does not guarantee that damages are covered by insurance. Always check actual driving license eligibility, the vehicle's status, and individual insurance terms before the test drive.

How to Use the Test Drive Package

1. Before the drive: check the correct person, driving license eligibility, the vehicle's usage status, and the actual terms of insurance coverage.
2. Before handing over the keys: fill out the test drive agreement as well as the condition and insurance check. Document known faults objectively.
3. After the drive: note the return time, mileage, visible discrepancies, and any incidents.
4. In the event of damage: secure the scene, document, and contact the relevant insurance company. Avoid automatic liability claims.
5. If the car is to be purchased: write a separate sales contract between the private individuals.

Legal Prerequisites and Sources

In a subsequent purchase between two private individuals, the Sale of Goods Act (1990:931) normally applies, where the parties' agreement is central. The Swedish Consumer Agency recommends a written sales contract and checking the car's condition; these documents are only support before a purchase.

The Swedish Transport Agency describes the requirement for traffic insurance. A driving ban may limit when and how the vehicle may be driven. Traffic insurance is not the same as protection for damage to your own car. According to the Swedish Consumer Insurance Bureau, the limitations of the individual insurance, driver terms, and deductible should be checked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a written agreement required for a test drive?

There is no general standard form that all private test drives must use. A written document can, however, reduce uncertainty about terms, time, the driver, and return.

Can anyone test drive the seller's car?

No. The driver must meet relevant driving license and traffic regulations, the car must be permitted to be driven, and the owner must give permission. Always check the insurance terms for that specific situation.

Does the driver automatically pay for all damages?

No. Liability depends on the agreement, the actual circumstances, applicable law, and insurance terms. The package does not provide an automatic liability assessment.

Is the condition report a technical vehicle inspection?

No, it is a report of the observations that the parties actually make. It does not replace a technical inspection, workshop check, or a guarantee of the car's condition.

Are the PDF files fillable?

They are searchable printable versions, not interactive PDF forms. Customize the Word files.

Are all documents included in English?

No. The working templates are in Swedish. The English User Guide provides instructions for the Swedish files.

Supplement with a Sales Contract

If the parties decide to buy and sell the car after the test drive, the Car Sales Contract Between Private Individuals is recommended. For a deposit, there is a separate car deposit agreement. For car deals through a proxy, there is a car and vehicle power of attorney.
