How VPPs SA inspections work

How it works

Inspect first. Decide second.

Four calm steps — then a score that helps you buy, negotiate, or walk away without guessing.

The process

Nothing complicated. Just clarity.

  1. 1

    Tell us about the car

    Brand, model, year, and where it is. We’ll reply with pricing and a booking time — usually on WhatsApp.

  2. 2

    We come to the car

    Home, dealership, office, or auction. You don’t need to move it or take a day off for a workshop.

  3. 3

    We check what sellers hope you miss

    Body, engine, electrics, road behaviour — with photos of anything that matters.

  4. 4

    You get a clear next step

    A score, the problems we found, and whether to buy, negotiate, or walk away — before any deposit.

Try this

Drag the score. Make it yours.

Wondering what 100% feels like — or what under 50% really means? Set any score and see the recommendation, the kinds of problems that show up, and what you’d do next.

Your imagined score

70%

Negotiate / pay less

Worth it — but not at full asking price

If this car scored 70%

70%

Recommendation · Negotiate / pay less

Worth it — but not at full asking price

Issues here have a rand value. Take the report to the seller and talk price with proof, not pressure.

Examples that often mean money off

  • Worn brake pads / discs

    Ask for the repair cost off the price

  • Uneven tyre wear / alignment

    Common — and easy to price into a deal

  • Minor oil seep or sensor codes

    Not always fatal, but shouldn’t be free

  • Average paint / previous panel work

    Useful leverage if it wasn’t disclosed well

What you’d do next

Use the photos. Offer less. Walk if they won’t move.

This explorer is a guide so you can feel the difference between scores. Your real report is based on the car in front of us — with photos of what we actually found.

Inspector documenting findings

In your hands

You’re not left decoding workshop jargon alone

The report is written for buyers: photos of what we found, plain-language notes, and a recommendation you can act on the same day — whether that’s a lower offer or a polite “no thanks.”

  • Photos you can forward to the seller
  • A score that matches how the car actually feels
  • Guidance on buy / negotiate / walk away
