A pre-purchase inspection is the cheapest insurance you can buy. A used European car can look excellent outside while hiding accident repair, a fault stored in a distant module, or a gearbox close to needing major work. Our inspection ends in a written report that tells you what you will spend after buying — not just "good" or "bad".
An inspection before buying costs far less than a surprise after. We give an impartial view: the car's real condition, what it will need soon and roughly what that costs.

01
We scan every module and read stored faults and error counters, which reveal what a visual check cannot: a repeating sensor fault, frequent stability system intervention, or codes cleared very recently. We also cross-check the odometer against module data, look for non-original coding or updates, and assess battery and charging health.
02
We measure paint thickness on every panel and compare the readings, because differences expose respray work even when it was done well. We inspect fender and pillar bolts, look for welding traces, filler or uneven panel gaps, and lift the car to check the underbody for distortion or previous structural repair.
03
We run a compression test when needed, check for leaks, assess suspension, brakes and tyres, then road-test the car while logging engine, gearbox, steering and braking behaviour. The final report sorts findings into: needs repair now, needs watching soon, and cosmetic notes — an order that helps you negotiate with numbers.
