What sets us apart
Why us?
A report in your language
The AA or RAC will send you a technical report in English. We deliver findings in plain language — Turkish, Greek or English — with clear advice.
A team that knows importing
We know the shipping, customs and registration process for Cyprus and Malta, and we stay with you for export paperwork and shipping after the inspection.
Live video link
On the Comprehensive package you join the inspection by video call and ask about anything you want checked, in real time.
100% independent
We take no commission from sellers and we don't sell cars. Our only job is reporting the truth on your behalf.
Risks
What we protect you from
The most common traps when buying a car from a distance:
Mileage clocking
We compare the mileage series in MOT records with interior wear to detect wound-back odometers.
Hidden write-off history
We surface Cat S/N write-off records via HPI and repair traces via paint depth measurement.
Outstanding finance
If you buy a car with outstanding finance, the finance company can repossess it. We check before you pay.
Ghost listings & deposit scams
We verify the car actually exists, matches the listing, and that the seller is its registered keeper.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the car sells before you get there?
You get a full refund — or, if you prefer, we hold your payment for the next car. Good listings sell fast, so we recommend the 24-48 hour express option.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. There's no surcharge in London & the South East, the Midlands and the North West; other areas carry a small travel fee, shown automatically in the price calculator.
How do I pay?
You first receive a free quote; if you accept, we send you a secure payment link (by card via Stripe, in GBP). Euro equivalents are shown for information only.
Do I have to talk to the seller?
No. We handle all communication with the seller in English and schedule the appointment — you only send us the listing link.
What if I decide to buy the car?
We can support the negotiation using the report findings, prepare export paperwork and organise shipping to Cyprus or Malta.
Who carries out the inspection?
Experienced, contracted vehicle inspectors in their own region. Every report follows a standard template and passes our quality review.
