Expose Hidden Catches, Unrecorded Write-Offs & Mechanical Time-Bombs
The asking price is only the beginning of the cost.
A below-market price can disguise crash repairs, outstanding debt or expensive engine and gearbox problems. Not every cheap car is a trap — but every unexplained discount deserves scrutiny.
- Compare the asking price against equivalent cars and challenge the reason for the discount
- Audit MOT and service records for repair clues, missing maintenance and inconsistencies
- Look beyond a clean history report: unrecorded damage and mechanical faults may not appear in database checks
The 3-Step Trade Method
Establish market value. Audit the hidden catches. Assess the mechanical risk. Choose the consultation level below that fits the evidence you need reviewed.
I compare the asking price with like-for-like cars: the same age, specification, mileage and condition. Then I challenge the seller to explain the gap. A low price needs evidence, not a convincing story.
I cross-check the advert, MOT history, service paperwork and available vehicle records for contradictions, outstanding finance and repair clues. A clean recorded history does not rule out an unrecorded write-off or privately repaired crash damage.
I help you question cold-start behaviour, warning lights, gearbox symptoms and overdue maintenance. Depending on your consultation level, we review the evidence or use live video to spot warning signs. Suspected faults need an independent physical inspection.
