Elements of the report
What do we check in cars?
When you order a car inspection report, you will receive a comprehensive assessment of the technical and visual condition of the vehicle. We check every important element so you can be sure that you are buying a car without hidden defects.
Documentation and vehicle history
We verify the availability of documents, analyze service history, and check archival photos and previous advertisements, if available.
Body and paint condition
We inspect the condition of the paint to detect possible body repairs, repainting and replacement of components. We assess scratches, dents and signs of corrosion that may indicate previous damage.
Engine and compartment
engine
We analyze the condition of the engine for oil leaks and operating fluids. We check that the engine's operation is smooth and does not make disturbing sounds. We verify the condition of belts, hoses and the cooling system.
Interior and equipment
We assess the condition of upholstery, seats and interior plastics to detect signs of excessive wear. We test the on-board electronics, air conditioning, multimedia systems, and the compatibility of the equipment with the ad.
Brakes and tires
We assess the condition of brake discs and pads and check tire wear to make sure the car is safe to drive.
Lighting and glazing
We test the operation of headlights, turn signals and stop lights. We check that the windows are original and of the same vintage, which may indicate a history of collisions.
Test drive
(if possible)
During the test drive, we evaluate the performance of the engine, transmission, suspension and steering. We check whether the car drives stably, does not pull sideways and does not make disturbing noises.
Chassis and
suspension
If there is access to the chassis, we check the condition of the suspension components and any signs of corrosion, which can lead to costly repairs.
OBD2 computer diagnostics
At the customer's request, we connect a diagnostic computer to detect hidden errors and check the fault history. We analyze key operating parameters of the engine, transmission and electronic systems.
That's not all! What additionally goes into the vehicle inspection report?

✅ We reduce the price of the car – you do not overpay and gain more!
✅ We know when and how to negotiate – dealers have their tricks, but we know them all.
✅ How much we cut, so much stays in your pocket – our service often pays for itself several times over!

What if there is no number for the seller in the ad?
Often ads do not include the seller’s phone number. In such cases, the seller will be contacted by email, which is standard practice in some countries.

If, after payment, the ad is found to be spam or fake, we will let you know and only charge you PLN 100 for verification. The remaining amount will be refunded within 48 hours. Our goal is to help you find the best possible car or motorcycle so that you can recommend our services to others.

Then, just before leaving, the appraiser calls the owner again to confirm the appointment. If, despite these actions, the inspection does not take place because the car is sold, the service remains valid for another 3 months - during this time we can check for the customer another vehicle of choice.
