Boats, quads and motorhomes deserve a passport too.
Lifestyle vehicles often change hands privately, with a handshake and a folder of receipts. A passport started by the builder gives every buyer the same quick, honest check, and every seller a way to prove what they say.
Lifestyle vehicles launch with cars and vans: the same passport and the same rules, covering different vehicles.

One passport, built for each kind of vehicle
Every one of these already carries a unique ID from its builder. The passport attaches to that ID and answers the questions buyers of that vehicle actually ask.

Boats and yachts
Engine hours, hull repairs and service history, checked before a deposit changes hands.

Hours that can only go up.
On a boat, a jet ski or a quad, engine hours matter as much as mileage, and an hour meter can be swapped or reset. A passport records each reading from the service yard, and a lower reading is refused before it is ever written. The same rule that protects a car's mileage protects your hours.

Voluntary, and launching with cars and vans
The EU's Euro 7 passport rules apply to new cars and vans, not to boats, quads or motorcycles. A new motorhome carries one too, from the maker of the van or chassis it is built on, but it describes that base vehicle, not the living space. So a lifestyle passport is a choice a builder or owner makes because it helps them sell; for a motorhome it sits beside the base vehicle's passport rather than replacing it.
It is the same passport on the same contract, so lifestyle vehicles launch with cars and vans, not after them. Builders and dealers start the same way a car maker does: with a pilot on one model.
