Avoid buying a problem car
We help reduce the risk of buying a car that only looks good in photos. We check technical condition, history and documents, and tell you straight if an option raises doubts.
Part of the used car market is prepared for selling, not for driving: hidden body repairs, adjusted mileage, expensive service work coming up. Visually they look great.
Before recommending a car we assess technical condition, body, history, mileage logic and documents. If we see serious risk – we say so directly, even if that means the deal doesn't happen.
If you have already found an option yourself, we can carry out a pre-purchase inspection and give a clear verdict: buy, negotiate or walk away.
What we assess
- Mileage and service history logic – sudden jumps, missing records, or typical model issues being ignored.
- Body and paint thickness signs – inflexible repairs, colour mismatch, or damage to the frame/brake towers.
- Technical condition at the workshop: engine, gearbox, suspension, diagnostics – not just “drives fine” on a short test drive.
How the process works
- First we gather listing information and documents – roadworthiness test validity, country of registration, number of owners, known accidents.
- We carry out viewing and workshop inspection: body, suspension, engine, diagnostic readout, test drive.
- We deliver a verdict in plain language: what is good, what is risky, what fixes may cost and whether it is worth negotiating further.
Examples from our work
- A client found a “perfect” sedan listing – during inspection we found body repair signs and inconsistent mileage; we recommended walking away.
- An estate looked tidy, but diagnostics showed transmission faults – the client negotiated the price down or walked away.
- A car with a “clean” history – we checked VIN data and service records; a missed timing belt change was found and future cost estimated.
