Questions & answers
What services does CarExamer offer?
“CarExamer offers independent vehicle inspections, car history and MOT checks, condition reports, car sourcing support, vehicle inspection training, and free vehicle-data and market-information services.”
How do I choose the right service for a used car?
“Use a history or MOT check to screen a vehicle, choose an independent inspection when you have shortlisted a car, use car sourcing when you want help finding suitable vehicles, or choose training when you want to build your own inspection knowledge.”
Are CarExamer inspectors qualified and independent?
“Inspectors on the platform are independent automotive professionals with relevant qualifications, practical mechanical experience, and appropriate insurance. Their findings focus on the condition of the vehicle rather than completing the sale.”
Does CarExamer cover my area?
“CarExamer provides mobile inspection coverage across the UK. Enter the location where the vehicle is kept during booking to confirm availability for that address.”
Are booking payments secure?
“Yes. Card payments are processed securely by Stripe. Payment is authorised when you book and handled in accordance with the platform terms.”
What does a pre-purchase car inspection include?
“The inspection covers the checks listed for your selected package and provides a digital condition report. Depending on the package and vehicle, this can include exterior, interior, mechanical, electrical, underside, road-test, photographic, and diagnostic findings.”
Which inspection package should I choose?
“Choose according to the vehicle, its value and complexity, and how much detail you need before deciding. Compare the checks, expected duration, report depth, and price shown for each package.”
What is the difference between Basic, Standard, and Premium inspections?
“Basic provides a focused assessment, Standard adds broader checks and report detail, and Premium offers the most comprehensive inspection coverage. The package comparison on this page shows the exact checks and duration for each option.”
Are diagnostic scans included?
“Diagnostic scanning is included with CarExamer inspection packages where the vehicle supports it. The scan can identify stored fault codes and electronic issues that may not be apparent during a normal viewing.”
How long does a car inspection take?
“The expected duration is displayed with each package. More comprehensive packages take longer because they include wider checks and more detailed reporting.”
What does a car history check show?
“The information depends on the packages selected. Available checks include core vehicle data, full car history, high risk markers, salvage auction history, valuation, vehicle excise duty, MOT history, battery data, factory specifications and tyre data.”
Can I choose more than one package?
“Yes. You can select as many available packages as you need in one booking. Each selected package is shown separately in your order and supplied as an individual PDF inside the download archive.”
Does the report guarantee that a car is safe to buy?
“No. A history report checks available recorded information; it cannot confirm the car’s current mechanical, electrical, structural or cosmetic condition. An independent physical inspection is recommended before purchase.”
What should I do if the report differs from the advert?
“Ask the seller to explain the difference and provide supporting documents. Do not pay a deposit or complete the purchase until you are satisfied that the vehicle identity and history are consistent.”
When should I run the history check?
“Run it once you have the registration and before travelling a long distance, paying a deposit, arranging collection or booking an inspection for a vehicle that may already show significant recorded concerns.”
