Inside every inspection
The checks that catch expensive surprises
Each area is assessed on site — with the detail you need to decide, not just a quick glance under the bonnet.
01 / 04
Focus area
Body & accident history
Paint thickness, panel gaps, previous repairs, and signs of structural or cosmetic accident damage.
02 / 04
Focus area
Engine & drivetrain
Leaks, noises, performance, transmission behaviour, and warning signs that can become expensive failures.
03 / 04
Focus area
Diagnostics & electrics
OBD scanning, battery health, warning lights, and electronic systems that sellers often overlook.
04 / 04
Focus area
Road test & safety
Brakes, suspension, steering feel, tyre condition, and how the vehicle behaves under real driving.
