While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Company details

  1. Vehicle Inspection
  2. Car Inspection Station

Written by the company

Car Audit is an independent, mobile pre-purchase vehicle inspection service covering Hertfordshire, Essex and the surrounding areas. If you are about to buy a used car from a private seller, a dealership or an online marketplace, we inspect the vehicle before you hand over your money, so you know exactly what you are buying. Every inspection is carried out by a professional mechanic, not a call centre or a franchise network. You deal directly with the person who inspects your car. We travel to the seller's location, whether that is a driveway, a forecourt or a workplace, so there is no need to arrange transport for a vehicle you do not yet own. What we check Our pre-purchase inspection covers more than 220 individual checkpoints across the whole vehicle, including: Engine condition, cold start behaviour, leaks and service history Gearbox, clutch and drivetrain, including automatic transmission checks Suspension, steering, wheel bearings, brakes and tyres Bodywork, paint depth readings, accident damage and previous repairs Electrics, dashboard warning lights and on-board diagnostics (OBD) scan Interior condition, mileage consistency and signs of odometer tampering Road test where the seller permits You receive a clear written report with photographs of any issues found, plus a straightforward verdict: BUY, NEGOTIATE or WALK AWAY. No jargon, no sitting on the fence. If the car has problems, we tell you what they are, how serious they are and what they are likely to cost, so you can either walk away or negotiate the price down with evidence in hand. Why use an independent inspection? A used car is one of the biggest purchases most people make, and hidden faults such as clutch wear, head gasket problems, gearbox issues or poorly repaired accident damage can cost thousands to put right. An independent inspection costs a fraction of that and gives you an honest, unbiased assessment from someone with no interest in whether the sale goes ahead. Pricing and booking Inspections are priced by vehicle category, starting from £149, so you always know the cost up front with no hidden extras. We also offer post-purchase inspections if you have recently bought a car and want a fault assessed and documented. Booking is quick and simple through our website at caraudit.co.uk, or you can message us directly on WhatsApp with the vehicle registration and location. Don't risk it. Car Audit it.
