Mobile pre-purchase car inspection

We come to the seller's location and check the car before you pay

An independent inspector works for you alone. We take no commission, referral fee or discount from any seller or dealership.

Paint thickness readings, underbody and body check, diagnostic scan, then a written report with photo references.

Covered cities: Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro and Kharkiv, plus their surrounding districts. Travel beyond these areas is quoted and confirmed in writing before booking.

Four things that stay the same on every job

  • We are paid by the buyer. No commission, referral fee or discount is accepted from a seller or dealership.

  • The inspector travels to the car in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro and Kharkiv. Travel beyond the city limits is quoted in writing before the visit.

  • You receive a written report: nine checklist areas, a summary page with Action recommended items listed first, and a photo reference for each finding. See the report structure.

  • Prices are published and fixed: UAH 1,900 for the Essential Check at ground level, UAH 3,400 for the full inspection with a road test. Packages and prices.

The process

From booking the visit to reading the written report

Four steps. No outcome is promised: the inspector records what is measurable and visible on the day, and you decide what to do with it.

  1. 01

    You book the visit

    Send the listing link or the VIN, the city and a time that suits the seller. We reply with the visit slot and the fee confirmed in writing before an inspector travels.

  2. 02

    The inspection is carried out on site

    The inspector works at ground level with a paint thickness gauge, an OBD scanner and a torch. Paint thickness readings are recorded at fixed points on each panel, visible defects and corrosion are photographed, and a road test is included where the package covers one.

  3. 03

    The findings are written up

    The report covers nine checklist areas, opens with a summary page that lists Action recommended items first, matches each finding to its photo reference, and closes with the items that could not be checked on the day.

  4. 04

    You read it and decide

    The report is yours. We are paid by the buyer and take no commission, referral fee or discount from a seller or dealership, and we do not buy or sell cars ourselves.

150-point checklist

What we check before you pay for a used car

An inspector works through 150 points across nine vehicle areas in a fixed order and writes down what he sees.

How the inspection is performed

About 90 minutes on site. The OBD-II scan output is saved, each finding is photographed, and the report states which areas were reached. See what the report contains.

  1. 01

    Body panels and paint

    Thickness readings at fixed points on every panel, with overspray notes.

  2. 02

    Structure and welds

    Sills, strut towers and apron seams checked for weld marks and straightening.

  3. 03

    Undercarriage and floors

    Checked from below where a lift is available, ground-level notes where it is not.

  4. 04

    Engine and fluids

    Cold start, fluid level and colour, belts and visible leaks.

  5. 05

    Transmission and drivetrain

    Transmission oil state, shift behaviour at standstill, CV boots and driveshaft play.

  6. 06

    Electronics and OBD-II

    Stored fault codes, freeze-frame data and readiness monitors from the scan.

  7. 07

    Suspension, steering and brakes

    Joint play, disc thickness, pad life and tyre date codes.

  8. 08

    Interior and safety systems

    Airbag warning state, seatbelt condition, water ingress marks.

  9. 09

    Documents and VIN

    VIN plate and stampings matched to the registration document.

Ground level and lift access

At ground level the inspector cannot see behind undertrays or between the floor and the road surface. Where a lift is available, the undercarriage and floors are checked from below. Anything not reached is listed as not inspected, and the scan output is attached as raw data, not as a diagnosis.

Packages and Buyer Assist

Choose the inspection that matches the car and your budget. Prices cover the full scope listed; travel outside the five city districts is quoted and confirmed in writing before the visit.

The written report

Three labels, plain answers, no verdict on the car

The inspector records paint thickness readings at fixed points on each panel, notes visible repairs, and measures wear items. Every line is then tagged with one of three labels. You decide what a label means for your budget.

Info: measured and recorded

A reading was taken and nothing irregular showed up at that point on the day of the visit. Tyre tread measured at 6 mm across the axle. Paint thickness consistent at the recorded points on the left rear door.

What the report is not

It is a non-invasive, ground-level assessment of the vehicle as presented on the day. It is not a warranty, a dismantled inspection, or a history check, and the Essential Check at UAH 1,900 includes no road test. Corrosion under trim, faults that appear only under load, and repairs hidden beyond the measured points stay outside what was recorded. The Full Check at UAH 3,400 adds a road test and runs in five covered cities: Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro and Kharkiv.

Independent pre-purchase inspection

Book the inspection before you pay for the car

We are paid by the buyer. We take no commission, referral fee or discount from any seller or dealership, so the nine checklist areas in the written report read the same whether the car is good or bad.

The Essential Check at ground level with no road test is UAH 1,900. Every other package is listed with its full scope and price on the packages page. Slots are confirmed in writing, and we cover Kyiv plus four further cities and their surrounding districts, with travel fees quoted before you book.
