Additional information about the service
A Pre-Sale Vehicle Inspection is a comprehensive check that helps identify hidden problems and understand the condition of the vehicle before purchase. We carefully inspect all key systems so you can make the right decision and avoid unpleasant surprises after the deal.
Diagnostics and inspection of key systems
In the first stage, our specialists conduct computer diagnostics to check the engine and electronic systems. We pay attention to errors that may indicate serious malfunctions. Then we thoroughly inspect the brake system, checking the condition of the pads, discs, and fluid level. The suspension is checked for wear and damage to ensure the vehicle drives smoothly and safely.
Inspection of external condition and additional components
We measure the thickness of the paint to see if there have been any repaints or hidden body repairs. Special attention is given to the exhaust system and cooling system - they often become problematic in used cars. For diesel vehicles, we always check the turbocharger, as issues here can lead to significant costs.
Recommendations and repair options
If we discover problems, we explain what can be repaired and what is better to replace. For example, brake discs can sometimes be resurfaced, while pads should be replaced. In the case of the turbocharger or cooling system, we will help assess how serious the issue is and whether repair makes sense. In the end, you will receive a complete report on the vehicle's condition and advice on whether to purchase it.
