A SEPARATE CAR2TEST SERVICE
Book a C2T Inspection
Found a vehicle inside or outside CAR2TEST? Request an independent documented vehicle inspection before you buy.
If an inspection identifies material issues, CAR2TEST can help the buyer understand the findings and discuss appropriate next steps with the seller where applicable. Any renegotiation depends on the findings, seller agreement, transaction status and CAR2TEST terms.

VEHICLE INSPECTIONS
A real inspection—not a quick walk-around.
Every vehicle is assessed using the C2T inspection process, combining mechanical checks, body condition, diagnostics and road-test findings.
Body and structure
Paintwork, panel alignment, corrosion, previous repairs, tyres, glass and exterior fittings.
Electronic diagnostics
Fault-code scan where supported, warning lights checked and important results explained.
Road test
Performance, braking, steering, noise, vibration and transmission behaviour where safely possible.
THE C2T REPORT

Important defects, advisories and evidence of previous repairs are prioritised so you can decide whether to buy, negotiate or walk away.
