Pre-Purchase Inspections
Our pre-purchase inspection is a choice for those who have already chosen their perfect car. You would need to provide the vehicle details to us and we will carry out an inspection at the seller’s address (or in another agreed place) in order to assess the condition of the car. We will then report all the findings and defects to you in a comprehensive and easy to read inspection report. All you need to do after that is to decide whether you are happy to buy the car or not. Moreover, our report can be a valid proof for the negotiation of the price of the vehicle.

You can be present for the inspection if you wish, but it is not essential. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report via email.
On immediate completion of the inspection, our experts will deliver a verbal inspection over the phone. This will be followed up by a detailed written inspection provided via email, which includes photos of the vehicle.
