Pre-purchase vehicle inspection
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection in the Netherlands
Independent inspection before you buy a used car: bodywork, paint, computer diagnostics, engine, gearbox, electronics, road test, and a clear recommendation.
Why inspection matters
Buy with facts, not with seller promises
A used car can look clean online and still hide expensive problems.
01
Hidden defects
Online photos rarely show hidden body repairs, oil leaks, electronic faults, or poor maintenance history.
02
Better decisions
A professional inspection gives you facts before you negotiate, reserve, travel, or transfer money.
03
Negotiation support
Clear findings can help reduce the price or prevent buying a car that will immediately need expensive repairs.
What is included
A complete technical audit before purchase
The inspection covers the car as a complete purchase decision: condition, risk, diagnostics, and negotiation value.
Exterior and bodywork inspection
Paint thickness measurements where relevant
Engine bay visual check
Gearbox and drivability assessment
Computer diagnostics
Interior, equipment, and comfort systems
Road test where conditions allow
Photo-based summary and recommendation
Bodywork and paint check
Paint and body clues sellers often miss
Body condition often decides whether a car is worth buying. We look for signs of repairs, repainting, corrosion, panel gaps, and structural risk.
Bodywork
Visual body inspection, panel alignment, corrosion clues, glass, lights, trim, tires, and obvious repair signs.
Paint thickness
Paint thickness readings where relevant help identify repainted panels and possible accident history.
Engine, gearbox, electronics, and road test
The systems that decide ownership cost
A good inspection connects visual signs, road behavior, and electronic data into one clear risk picture.
Engine
We look for cold-start issues, leaks, smoke, abnormal sounds, overheating signs, and service-related warning signals.
Gearbox
Automatic and manual gearboxes are checked for shifting behavior, delays, vibration, clutch symptoms, and test-drive issues.
Electronics
Modules are scanned for active and stored faults, including safety, body, multimedia, and comfort systems where accessible.
Road test
The road test helps confirm braking, steering, suspension feel, drivetrain behavior, and general confidence.
Computer diagnostics
Fault codes with context, not panic
Computer diagnostics help reveal hidden faults and recently cleared issues, but the result is always interpreted together with the physical inspection.
Active faults
Checked where supported by the vehicle and diagnostic access.
Stored faults
Checked where supported by the vehicle and diagnostic access.
Live data clues
Checked where supported by the vehicle and diagnostic access.
Photo, video, and detailed report
A report built for a purchase decision
After inspection you receive practical findings that help decide whether to buy, negotiate, or walk away.
Visual highlights
Photo and video points that show important findings without forcing you to inspect the car again.
Bodywork notes
Clear paint and bodywork observations, including areas that may need extra attention.
Diagnostic summary
Fault codes and electronic-system findings explained in the context of the vehicle.
Negotiation risks
Repair risks and cost-sensitive findings you can use when discussing the price.
Purchase recommendation
A professional buy, negotiate, or reject recommendation before you commit.
Inspection workflow
From advert link to recommendation
The process is designed for buyers who need quick clarity before making a decision.
02
Booking
We agree on the inspection scope and coordinate the appointment with the seller if needed.
03

The car is checked on-site: body, diagnostics, systems, road behavior, and visible maintenance clues.
