Why have a car inspection?
Every year 600,000 cars are written off by insurers. Yet many of them still end up on a forecourt or in the small ads.
- The new MOT Certificate is no guarantee of roadworthiness – would you know what has happened to the car since the test took place?
- Millions of cars are generally unroadworthy, have major defects or other damage.
- Appointments are usually available within 3 working days.
- Full report is sent by email, plus verbal report.
- Road test included in all inspections.
- Cars, vans, 4-wheel-drive vehicles and motorhomes can all be inspected.
- Tell us where the vehicle is, and we will arrange the inspection appointment with the vendor.
- The results of the checks can be used to insist that the seller repairs any defects or may lead to compromise on the purchase price.
