The most common inspection. Saloons, hatchbacks, estates. Straightforward layout means thorough coverage in 2–2.5 hours.
More complex drivetrain — transfer box, front differential, air suspension on premium models. Takes 2.5–3 hours.
Vans are often commercially loaded. Extra focus on payload components, load bay, roof, rear doors. Up to 3.5 tonnes.
Dual drivetrain — petrol/diesel plus electric motor and battery. Battery health and cooling fan are critical specific checks.
No engine or exhaust — but battery degradation and charging system are the most critical items. EV-specific checks throughout.
High-value cars where a missed fault costs thousands. More thorough, more photos. Elite package strongly recommended.
We believe in total transparency. Here is exactly where our scope ends.
We are not DVSA-authorised. Our inspection is pre-purchase peace of mind only — not a legal roadworthiness certificate.
We identify faults. We don't fix them. Take our report to any garage of your choice and get quotes.
We cannot open sealed units. We test operation and scan for fault codes but cannot see internal engine wear.
We tell you what's wrong. You decide what it's worth. We do not provide official market valuations or appraisals.
Our report reflects condition on inspection day only. Cars can develop new faults after inspection — we cannot predict this.
We flag suspected structural damage but do not provide certified structural engineering reports for written-off vehicles.
Available as a paid add-on (£40–£70 depending on vehicle). Not included in any standard package.
Cars, 4x4s, vans, hybrids, and EVs only. No motorcycles, caravans, tractors, plant machinery, or caravans.
We inspect right-hand drive UK-registered vehicles only. Imported LHD cars are outside our scope.
Vehicle Inspection Service provides independent visual and mechanical inspections. Our inspectors are qualified automotive technicians but we are not a DVSA-authorised testing facility. This inspection is for buyer information only and does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or vehicle approval certificate. Faults discovered after the inspection date are not covered. Full terms available upon request.
