Every car we sell goes through the same 160-point inspection in our workshop. Most of the points are quick checks; a dozen of them decide whether a car makes it onto the lot at all.
- Engine compression and leak-down on older engines
- Timing belt or chain service history
- Transmission fluid condition and shift quality
- Brake pad and rotor thickness
- Tire tread depth and age
- Suspension bushes and shock absorbers
- Frame and underbody for rust or repairs
- Cooling system pressure test
- Battery health and charging output
- Airbag and warning light diagnostics
- Air conditioning performance
- A 20-minute road test on mixed roads
You get the full checklist with the car, signed by the technician who did the work.
