About the Premium inspection

The CarExamer Premium Inspection is for purchases where uncertainty carries a bigger price. Whether you are buying remotely, considering a higher-value vehicle or simply want the broadest possible assessment, it gives an independent inspector more scope to investigate the car before you commit. The inspection allows up to 180 minutes for 300+ checks, including a road test of up to 15 minutes when the vehicle is safe, road legal and available to drive. Premium looks beyond whether the vehicle starts, drives and appears presentable. The inspection is designed to build a fuller picture of mechanical and electrical condition, road behaviour, previous damage, body repairs and structural warning signs. Detailed media and direct feedback help you understand not only what was found, but why it matters to the purchase. The result is a decision-making report, not a sales certificate. Use it to challenge the seller's description, budget for defects, renegotiate the price or step away before a hidden problem becomes an ownership cost. No pre-purchase inspection can eliminate every future risk, but Premium gives you the strongest evidence in the CarExamer range when you cannot afford to rely on appearances alone.

This is the second time Klavs has inspected a vehicle for me, and he’s been outstanding on both occasions. He saved me from making a mistake with the first car, and with the second he gave me reassurance while pointing out a few small issues to discuss with the dealer. The dealer even remarked on how detailed and professional his approach was. I’d happily recommend Klavs to anyone needin...

Klavs, very simply was brilliant. He help me avoid making a terrible decision to buy a vehicle that was misrepresented and which he was not able to fully inspect as having identified some issues the dealer halted the inspection. Klavs dealt with it correctly and professionally and has gone out of his way to assist in raising issues with the dealer.
