Cars Inspected

A pre-purchase inspection costs a few hundred euro. A bad used car can cost you thousands. The maths is simple.

What We Check — Every Time

A full 130+ point pre-purchase car inspection that uncovers what a standard NCT never will.

  • Paint & bodywork — paint depth gauge to detect repaints, accident repairs and hidden damage
  • Chassis & underbody — corrosion, frame alignment, structural weaknesses and crash signs
  • Suspension & steering — play, leaks, abnormal noises and road behaviour
  • Brakes & tyres — disc/pad wear percentages and tyre wear patterns
  • Powertrain — leaks, vibrations, exhaust smoke and overall running quality
  • Full ECU/OBD scan — hidden and intermittent fault codes, suspicious resets
  • Mileage fraud detection — odometer vs ECU data and service records
  • Road test — up to 15 km where possible

PDF report within 24 hours — photos, videos, full diagnostics and one clear verdict.
