Practical guidance grounded in motor-trade experience

This course is designed for used-car buyers who want a more structured way to assess a vehicle and for people developing practical vehicle-inspection knowledge. It explains how to approach an inspection methodically, recognise visible warning signs, record findings and communicate clearly with a buyer or seller.

The course is delivered by CarExamer founder and CEO Klavs Simkus, who has more than 18 years of motor-trade experience. His background includes work as a vehicle technician and roles with the Bosch Dealer Network, Ford and AA Roadside Assistance.

Course content is educational. It does not replace a vehicle-specific professional inspection, diagnostic testing or advice from an appropriately qualified repair specialist.

For applicants pursuing relevant CarExamer licence or franchise operations, the course forms part of the onboarding process. Completing it does not by itself guarantee an inspector role, licence or franchise approval.

  • A structured method for assessing a used vehicle
  • Guidance on recognising visible warning signs
