Do I need to be present for the inspection?
No! You can book remotely, and we will send the full inspection report, photos, and recommendations digitally via email or WhatsApp.
Can I use the inspection report to negotiate a better price?
Absolutely! Many of our customers have successfully negotiated discounts of £500–£2,000 after using our reports to highlight necessary repairs.
Where do you perform inspections?
We currently operate in London and Leicester, providing on-site inspections at dealerships, private sellers, auctions, or any other locations you request for.
What are the most common issues found during inspections?
Our inspections often reveal hidden mechanical faults, accident damage, engine issues, faulty electronics, suspension problems, and excessive wear on brakes and tires.
How long does the inspection take?
Inspections take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the package selected.
How do I book an inspection?
You can book an inspection online through our Booking Page, via WhatsApp, or by calling us directly at +44 7979 014 937.
Can I schedule an inspection at a dealership or private seller’s location?

Do you offer inspections outside of London & Leicester?
At the moment, we focus on London & Leicester, but we are expanding. Contact us if you need an inspection in nearby areas!
Do you perform inspections in underground or limited-access parking garages?
We can inspect vehicles parked in restricted spaces, but we may need access to electricity, light, and permission from the parking facility.
What does the inspection cover?
Our inspections check engine performance, transmission, brakes, tires, suspension, accident history, body condition, and electronic systems. Higher-tier packages include test drives and HD video walkthroughs.
Do you test drive the vehicle?
Yes! Our Full, Premium, and Ultimate inspections include a test drive (if permitted by the seller). The test drive evaluates acceleration, steering, braking, and overall road performance.
Do you use OBD2 scanning to check for hidden issues?
Yes! We perform an OBD2 diagnostic scan on applicable vehicles to detect engine, sensor, and electronic issues that may not be visible in a standard inspection.
Can you provide a written valuation or estimate for repairs?
Yes! Our Premium & Ultimate inspections include estimated repair costs, helping you negotiate a fair price with the seller.
Can I book another inspection for a different car?
Yes! If your first choice isn’t suitable, you can book additional inspections for other vehicles. We also offer multi-car discounts.

How Can I Check a Car’s History Before Buying?
Before purchasing a used vehicle, it’s crucial to check its history to avoid hidden issues such as accident damage, outstanding finance, or mileage fraud. A Car Pre Purchase Inspection helps identify mechanical problems, but you should also verify the car’s background using official resources.
