Hello all, first time posting. I’ve lived in Germany for a few years now and I’m in the process of buying a car. It’s a private transaction and the seller seems trust worthy, I’ve tested the car, he has checked if it needs services and even offered doing the TÜV – the seller has shared the report, it’s says passed but it also has a comment about something that has the validity until end of this month. Here is where I’m having a bit of trouble understanding what the “issue”. The car has passed, but the is some type of issue with the OBD. I’m attaching a picture of the report where I’ve tried to hide any sensible information (let me know if I’ve missed anything and I can repost or delete).
3rd and 4th picture is where I struggle to understand, specially the 4th one… something about the validity of the report. Google translate is a bit confusing. Has anyone had a similar issue? Should I be worried? He says he checked today with and service partner and they say everything should be fine…
Thanks for the help.

Formally the Abgasuntersuchung is a separate check beside the Hauptuntersuchung, but you need to have an AU to pass the HU. The text on picture 4 only says that this AU report is only valid for an HU done within a month. (But as said, they nowadays are done together.)
