EV & Hybrid Inspections

Know Your
Battery's Condition
Before You Buy

A hybrid battery replacement can cost €3,000–€15,000+. We assess it before you commit.

Why Hybrid & EV Inspections Matter

Hybrid and electric vehicles — especially Japanese imports — carry risks that a standard inspection won't identify. The high voltage battery is the most expensive component in the car, and its condition is rarely disclosed by sellers.

The NCT does not test battery health. We do — using professional OBD diagnostic equipment.

VAMChecks performs a professional battery diagnostic scan on every hybrid and electric vehicle. Where the system allows full data access, we give you the most complete picture available from a non-invasive inspection.

What Our EV Inspection Covers

🔋 Battery Diagnostic Scan

Our OBD diagnostic includes a comprehensive battery system scan. Where the vehicle's system allows full data access, we provide cell balance readings, insulation resistance and available health data — giving you the most complete picture possible from a professional non-invasive inspection.
