Buying a used car is a big decision. We believe you should understand what you are buying before you commit, with an independent assessment that looks beyond the advert and the seller's description.
Founded in 2019, CarExamer connects buyers with qualified, independent vehicle inspectors across the UK. From everyday family cars to classics and motorhomes, we help you get a clearer picture of a vehicle's condition before money changes hands.
CarExamer helps used car buyers arrange independent pre-purchase vehicle inspections across the UK. Established in 2019 by Klavs Simkus, our platform connects customers with qualified inspectors so they can understand a vehicle's condition before committing to a purchase.
The business grew from practical experience in the motor trade, including vehicle diagnostics, workshop repairs and roadside assistance. That background shapes our focus: helping buyers look beyond an advert, recognise potential concerns and make decisions based on inspection findings.
Customers can arrange checks for everyday family cars, classics, luxury vehicles and motorhomes. Our vehicle inspection packages offer different levels of assessment, allowing you to review what is included and choose a service appropriate to the vehicle you are considering.
CarExamer coordinates the booking between the customer and the inspection provider. We do not sell the vehicle being assessed. The inspector records their findings in a report that helps you discuss the car's condition with the seller and consider your next steps.
Before booking, read customer reviews of inspectors to learn about other buyers' experiences with the service. If you are unsure which checks you need, contact our team for help understanding the available packages.
CarExamer makes affordable, reliable pre-purchase car inspections available to everyone, reducing the risks involved with buying a used car, saving you time and money.
We aim to empower used car buyers with all the information they need to make the best buying decisions. Using qualified, professional inspectors, we offer a convenient, professional and simple-to-use service.
We aim to provide the most consistent, high-quality car inspection service anywhere in the world. With expert inspectors, thorough reporting and a convenient, often same day service, we are our customers’ number one choice for making the process of buying used cars as simple as 1-2-3.
We want independent inspections to become a natural part of buying a used vehicle, helping more people choose with confidence.
CarExamer is a UK pre-purchase vehicle inspection platform connecting used car buyers with qualified, independent inspectors. Founded in 2019 by Klavs Simkus, the business draws on his background in vehicle diagnostics, workshop repairs and roadside assistance. Read about our founder's automotive experience and the practical knowledge behind the service.
Our role is to help you arrange an independent assessment before you buy. CarExamer brings customers and inspection providers together; we do not sell the vehicles being inspected. Whether you are considering a family car, a classic or a motorhome, you can compare our vehicle inspection packages and choose the level of checks that suits your purchase.
Clear information matters before you book. Review the checks included in your chosen package and read customer reviews of inspectors to help you decide whether the service meets your needs. An inspection helps you understand a vehicle's condition at the time of the assessment; it cannot guarantee future reliability. If you need help understanding the service or choosing a package, contact our team before making your decision.
