Every defect documented before you sign
Paint depth, panel gaps, trim alignment, software diagnostics, fluid levels. We cover what a dealership handoff skips — with instruments, not assumptions.
What the checklist actually covers
Exterior & Paint
Mechanical & Fluids
Software & Electronics
Paint depth readings at every panel, gap and flush measurements, overspray detection, clear coat uniformity, door-edge chips, and glass for stress cracks.
Engine bay for leaks and loose fittings, fluid levels and contamination, brake condition, tyre pressure and tread depth, suspension for transit damage.
OBD-II fault code scan, all module versions checked against current release, ADAS calibration status, infotainment, charging systems on EV and hybrid models.
Interior & Trim
Accessories & Spec
Structural Integrity
Seat stitching, panel fit and misalignment, headliner, all switches and controls, climate system output, all interior lights and mirror adjustments.
Ordered options verified against build sheet, spare wheel or repair kit, floor mats, charging cables, owner documentation and service history completeness.
Underbody for transport damage, chassis for prior repair signs, wheel arch liners, seals and weatherstripping, boot floor and spare well for moisture ingress.
Tools that make hidden defects visible
Paint thickness meters detect resprays invisible to the naked eye. OBD scanners surface fault codes cleared before handoff. Calibrated gap tools measure misalignment to the millimetre.
Every instrument produces a number. Numbers go into the report. There is no subjective assessment — only documented measurements against manufacturer specification.
Sample Report Structure
Vehicle identification and build-sheet verification
Every finding photographed and measured
Paint depth readings: all panels with pass / flag status
Gap and flush measurements with diagrams
The report you receive names every discrepancy with its location, measurement, and photograph. It is structured for use — with the dealer, with the manufacturer, or in a warranty dispute.
Fault codes: module, code, description, cleared-flag status
Photographic evidence indexed to each finding
