What we check, and how
Every inspection follows a standard template and ends with clear advice: buy, negotiate, or walk away.
Mechanical & engine
The heart of the car. We start the engine cold and test all the mechanicals on site.
- Cold start, engine noise and smoke check
- Gearbox, clutch and suspension
- Braking system and steering
- OBD computer fault-code scan
Bodywork & paint
A paint depth gauge can't lie about hidden accident history.
- Paint depth measurement on every panel
- Detection of replaced or resprayed parts
- Chassis, sill and rust inspection
- Panel gaps and traces of earlier repairs
Documents & history
We verify the car's paper trail against official records.
- HPI check: outstanding finance, stolen, write-off
- V5C logbook and seller verification
- MOT history and mileage consistency
- VIN and registration plate matching
Road test
Some faults only show themselves when the car is moving.
- Gear changes and clutch behaviour
- Braking performance and vibration check
- Steering feel and drivetrain noises
Market value & negotiation
The findings serve your wallet, not just your peace of mind.
- Price comparison against similar listings
- A fair price range based on the findings
- Concrete points to use in negotiation
Other add-ons
- Live video call
Join the inspection by video call and ask about anything you want checked, in real time. Included in the Comprehensive package.
- Export paperwork pack
V5C export notification, sales contract review and invoice support.
Safe Purchase
Your money and identities, protected
When you buy a car from thousands of kilometres away, the biggest risk isn't technical — it's fraud. These services protect your payment and verify who you are really dealing with.
Negotiation on your behalf
Included in the Comprehensive package
We put the report findings in front of the seller and negotiate in English, on your behalf.
- Professional negotiation backed by the defect list and market data
- You pay only 10% of the discount we win for you
- If we can't get a discount, you pay nothing
Seller identity verification
Included in Standard and Comprehensive
Against “ghost listing” fraud: we confirm the seller is real and actually has the car.
- Identity matched against the V5C logbook
- Address and phone verification
- Bank account name matched to the seller
Dealer licence verification
Included in all packages
Buying from a dealer? We verify the business is registered, authorised and reputable.
- Companies House registration and status
- FCA authorisation check (if they sell finance)
- Complaint and review history scan
Escrow payment coordination
Included in the Comprehensive package
Don't send the car payment straight to the seller. The money is held in an independent escrow account until you approve the report.
- 01
Funds go into escrow
The car payment is held by an FCA-authorised escrow provider; the seller sees the funds are ready.
- 02
The car is inspected
Our inspector completes the check and sends you the report. If you walk away, the money comes back to you.
- 03
You approve, the seller gets paid
Once you approve the report and decide to buy, the funds are released to the seller.
The escrow account is held by an independent FCA-authorised provider; the provider's transaction fee is calculated separately based on the car price.
We're with you after the inspection too
One point of contact for the steps after you buy:
