Found a car? Let us check it first.
An hour of inspection can save years of regret. We check the history and documents, measure the paint on every panel, read live data from the engine and gearbox, look underneath, and drive it properly. You get a written report with photos and video, and a straight answer: buy it, negotiate, or walk away.
£200. Private seller or dealer, anywhere within 50 miles of Guildford. Further afield, £2 per mile beyond that.
What we check
- Bodywork and paint. Measured on every panel for repairs, repaint and hidden damage.
- Mechanical condition. Engine, gearbox, suspension where accessible, brakes, wheels and tyres.
- Electronics. A full diagnostic scan, fault codes and live data for the engine, gearbox and other systems.
- Interior. Seats, trim and controls, and signs of wear that don't match the mileage.
- VIN and documents. VIN matches the records, V5C, service history.
- Safety-critical items. Anything that affects whether the car is safe to drive home.
- A proper road test.
What you get
A written report with photos and video, usually the same day. And a straight answer. If it's not the one, we'll say so, even if that means you don't buy.
