Making The Decision a Breeze

Uncover the car's past like never before
A car’s history can tell you everything you need to know about its future. Whether it’s previous accidents, ownership records, or unresolved damages, we leave no stone unturned to bring you complete transparency.

Reports designed for everyone
Pre-purchase car inspection reports shouldn’t require a mechanic’s degree to understand. That’s why our reports are detailed yet easy to follow. Expect clear descriptions of every issue, explanations of what each finding means, and estimated repair costs so you feel empowered to take the next steps with confidence.

Strengthen your negotiation power
Imagine walking into a negotiation with proof in hand. Our PPI provides high-resolution photos of every issue we find, ensuring you negotiate with confidence, and secure the best deal possible.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does the inspection take?

    Most inspections take around 60–90 minutes, depending on the vehicle and package selected.

    Do I need to be there during the inspection?

    You don’t need to attend. We can inspect on-site at the seller’s location and send the full report straight to you.

    Where can you carry out the inspection?

    We’ll give you our professional opinion pointing out the good, the bad, and the costly. So you can decide with confidence.

    Can you check for accidents or flood damage?

    We look for body repairs, paint inconsistencies, frame damage, and corrosion that may indicate previous accidents or flooding.

    Can you test-drive the car?

    We’ll carry out a road test to check performance, steering, brakes and transmission feel.

    What if the car has issues?

    We’ll explain exactly why and what the issues are, so you can negotiate, walk away, or request repairs before buying.

    Can I upgrade my inspection after booking?

    Yes, you can move from basic to standard or premium before the visit. Just contact us to adjust your booking.

    Do you inspect hybrid or electric vehicles?

    We’re able to inspect hybrid and mild-hybrid vehicles. For full EVs, we advise you to contact an EV specialist.

    When will I receive my report?

    Within 24 hours of the inspection. Packages include same-day turnaround.

    Do you check the service history and paperwork?

    Yes. We’ll review what’s available on the day (service book, invoices, MOT history) and flag any gaps, inconsistencies, or missing documentation.

    Can you inspect a car that’s at a dealership?

    Absolutely. We regularly inspect cars at main dealers and independent dealers, we’ll liaise with them, carry out the inspection on-site, and send your report over afterwards.
