Independent evidence before buying a car in Edinburgh
A vehicle advertised in Edinburgh may be located within the city or farther across the Lothians and Forth area. A mobile pre-purchase inspection gives you independent findings from the vehicle itself, helping you assess its condition before planning travel, paying a deposit or agreeing the sale.
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.

A chap called Daniel did the inspection, the work was completed and a written report provided quite quickly and with photos where required, a phone call from Daniel soon followed and a verbal Q&A given, the only concerning issue found by Daniel was the battery which he said was not charging as it should and would require replacing.

Very good service- quick to accept job, arrived early for inspection and kept me informed the whole way. Produced a good quality report with pictures and video so I knew exactly what the vehicle looked like before purchasing.
