The CarExamer Standard Inspection is built for the point at which a used car looks promising but you still need to know whether it is worth buying. A qualified inspector examines the vehicle independently, looking beyond presentation and sales talk for defects, wear, warning signs and likely costs that could change the deal.
The inspection allows up to 120 minutes for 200+ checks, including a road test of up to 15 minutes when the vehicle is safe, road legal and available to drive.
The finished report turns those findings into practical buying information. You can see what the inspector found, understand which concerns deserve attention and use estimated repair costs to judge the asking price more realistically. Direct feedback also gives you the opportunity to clarify important findings rather than trying to interpret a checklist on your own.
Choose Standard when you have already viewed the vehicle but want more depth than a focused inspection provides. It is a strong fit for everyday used-car purchases where mechanical condition, underside access, diagnostic evidence and road behaviour all matter to the final decision. If you are buying unseen or want the widest bodywork and structural coverage, Premium is the better comparison.
