Independent evidence before buying a car in Cardiff
Used-car searches in Cardiff frequently extend into neighbouring towns across South Wales. An independent inspector can attend the vehicle where it is being sold and document the findings, giving you more reliable information before you travel, negotiate or make a purchase decision.
CarExamer connects buyers with independent automotive professionals who have relevant qualifications, mechanical experience and appropriate insurance. Because the inspector is not involved in the sale, the findings are based on the selected checks rather than the advert or the seller's description.
How to use the inspection findings
The report is evidence for your buying decision, not a simple pass or fail. It records observed defects and items that may need monitoring or further diagnosis, with photographs, diagnostic information and road-test observations where the package and conditions allow. Use the evidence to question the seller, assess repair implications, renegotiate or walk away.
The inspection is a point-in-time assessment, not a warranty, and does not replace identity, finance, theft, write-off, mileage or service-history checks. If a concern requires dismantling or specialist testing, the report helps identify what further evidence is needed before purchase.

I have never used a pre-purchase inspection service before. I checked the AA & RAC web sites and found their report somewhat limiting with no photos. Following the good feedback on the Carexamer web site I decided to use their Premium service. The results led me NOT to purchase the car. A great result, I would have been saddled with a disastrous vehicle. I will never consider a purchase...

Amazing service - really happy. The detail and level of care which went in to the report is amazing, and the service I’ve received both before and after the inspection has been amazing. Highly recommended!
