PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION · ON THE BUYER'S SIDE
Pre-purchase inspection
for cars.
Before you reserve it, know its condition.
Found a car? We inspect the vehicle and its documents so you can make an informed decision before taking the next step.
From €200VAT included · Quote depends on location and scope
Send us the listing and the car's location. We will review availability, scope and pricing before you engage us.
The inspection gives you context.
WHAT THE INSPECTION INCLUDES
From the listing
to the evidence.
An independent inspection to understand that specific vehicle's condition, potential risks and factors that could affect your purchase.
Vehicle condition
Visual and technical inspection without dismantling: bodywork, interior, accessible mechanical parts and signs of wear or repairs.
Electronic diagnostics
Reading and interpreting recorded faults, subject to the vehicle's compatibility and available access.
Road test
Checking road behaviour when conditions, permission and vehicle availability allow.
Written evidence
Full report with over 100 vehicle photos, observations and matters to clarify with the seller.
A clear recommendation
Findings to help you buy, negotiate terms or walk away, with the reasons explained.
Travel and external costs are quoted separately where applicable. An inspection reduces risk but does not guarantee the absence of hidden defects. Any checks that cannot be completed will be identified in the report.
THE INSPECTION RESULTS
Understand what was found.
And what it means.
The report brings together photos, observations and a reasoned recommendation: buy, negotiate or walk away. It distinguishes findings from anything that could not be checked.
Enquire about my carILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT AN ACTUAL REPORT
From a finding to a decision.
- Observation
- Uneven wear on the front tyres.
- What needs clarification
- The cause of the wear and the cost of fixing it before completing the purchase.
- Next step
- Request a check of the cause and factor the cost into negotiations.
The final recommendation depends on the entire inspection, not a single finding.

INSPECTION BEFORE BUYING A USED CAR
Based in Madrid. Coverage depends on the vehicle.
We coordinate pre-purchase inspections in Madrid and other Spanish locations subject to availability. Before booking, tell us where the car is: we will confirm access, travel and pricing.
The inspection focuses on a specific vehicle's condition and documents. If you need help choosing a model, searching or negotiating, explore our car buying advice. For vehicles abroad, we assess inspection as part of an import agreement or under a specific quote.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Before you book.
Can I request an inspection outside Madrid?+
Yes. Tell us the vehicle's location and we will confirm availability and any travel costs before you engage us.
Do I need to have paid a deposit?+
No. You can enquire before reserving or committing to the seller. If you have already paid a deposit, mention it in your enquiry.
What if the seller does not allow a check?+
The limitation will be recorded and its impact on the findings assessed. The inspection requires vehicle access and coordination with the seller.
What if I do not have a listing link?+
Describe the model, year and mileage in the form. The link is optional; the location helps us assess availability.
Does an enquiry commit me to the service?+
No. Scope, availability and pricing are confirmed first. Preparing the enquiry does not send a message either: you can review it and send it yourself through WhatsApp.
