The vehicle, from a partial view.
Ranked candidates
Make, model and year range, each scored, because a three-quarter rear at dusk narrows to a family and not to a car.
Distinguishing features
The specific details that separated the leading candidate from the next one, with reference imagery.
Body and finish
Body style, colour and visible configuration, kept separate from the identification.
Lamp signature
Headlamp and tail-lamp geometry, the strongest single cue on most vehicles.
Body line
Glasshouse, shoulder line, pillar count and overhang ratio.
Grille and trim
Aperture shape, badge placement and model-year trim changes.
Proportion
Wheelbase against track and ride height, which survive poor resolution.
Numberplates are never read. Identification is by vehicle, never by registration.
Occupants are not analysed and do not contribute to the result.
A partial view returns a family with a confidence, not a false single match.
