- Every vehicle listed on our platform has undergone thorough inspections conducted by independent engineers following The Retail Motor Industry Federation and the Motor Ombudsman’s code of practice.
- We meticulously verify each car's history, ensuring the accuracy of its mileage, checking for any reports of theft, confirming its legality for sale, assessing whether it has been involved in serious accidents or undergone significant repairs, and determining if the current owner still owes money on the car. Additionally, we check if the car has been written off, repaired, and subsequently returned to the road.
- Each vehicle pass a full computer check and a thorough 190-point inspection, which includes evaluations of the fuel system, clutch and transmission, engine compression, brake hydraulics, front and rear suspension, exhaust system, vehicle underside and water pump conditions. Upon completion of these assessments, we provide a conformity certificate indicating the car's suitability for sale and a new MOT if needed.
- Following the inspection, vehicles receive a Grade rating, and any potential defects, including normal wear and tear, are highlighted in the description with accompanying photographic evidence accessible via the Details button.
