Buying a used car?Used car inspections before you buy
We check the car at the seller's address before you hand over any money, so you know exactly what you're buying.
Before you pay
What a used car inspection covers
A used car can look fine on the driveway and still hide worn brakes, a slipping clutch or a fault that has been cleared from the dashboard. A check before you pay finds them, so you can walk away or agree a fair price.

Questions
Can you meet me at the seller's house?
Yes. Send us the address and the time of the viewing, and we'll meet you at the car.
Do I need a history check as well?
Yes. A history check from a service such as Cartell or Motorcheck shows outstanding finance, write-offs and the mileage record. An inspection shows the condition of the car itself, so the two together give you the full picture.
What if the inspection finds a problem?
You hear what it is and what it would cost to fix, so you can walk away or agree a lower price with the seller.
