How the inspection works

Four stages, one flat fee, and a written verdict you can act on before any money changes hands.

  1. 01

    Booking

    Send the listing link, the VIN, and the city where the car stands. We agree the slot with the seller by phone and email, usually within two working hours.

  2. 02

    On-site check

    An inspector meets the seller at the car and works on the buyer's side only. You do not have to be there, and the seller is never told who is paying for the visit.

  3. 03

    200+ point scan

    Panels, paint thickness, structure, engine, gearbox, suspension, electrics, OBD faults and a road test. Every line is marked pass, caution or fail.

  4. 04

    Report in 48 hours

    Photographs, the original scan sheet and a repair estimate for each flagged item arrive within two days. Compare tier coverage before you book.

What we cannot detect


A pre-purchase inspection describes a used car on the day we see it. It is not a warranty and it is not a rebuild forecast. We examine the vehicle on a lift for 60 to 90 minutes, and we list anything that needs disassembly, a road test under load or the seller's permission as unverified.

  1. Concealed structural repairs. Corrosion, seam sealer and straightened frame rails hidden behind trim, carpets or fresh underseal can only be confirmed by removing panels, which sellers rarely allow during a viewing.
  2. Wear inside the engine or gearbox. Compression loss, worn bearings and early gearbox faults need a compression test or live diagnostic data logged over a road test under load.
  3. Intermittent electronics. A sensor that fails once a week may not store a fault code during a single visit. We note the symptom and the risk, not a confirmed cause.
  4. Parts we cannot reach. Sealed units, underbody trays, locked compartments and cars the seller will not start stay marked unverified in the final report.
  5. Future failures. We do not warranty the vehicle after purchase and we do not cover repairs. No inspection can promise a car will stay fault-free tomorrow.

The full scope sits in our service limitations, and what we do document is shown in the sample inspection report.
