Separate cosmetic and functional condition

Do not use cosmetic appearance as an automatic summary of the item’s overall condition.

Describe separately:

Cosmetic condition

• scratches;
• dents;
• discolouration;
• corrosion;
• wear.

Functionality

• electronics;
• controls;
• mechanical operation;
• display;
• connections;
• product-specific components.

This separation makes the listing much clearer and prevents a cosmetic assessment from being interpreted as a statement about functionality.
