Disclaimer:

Please note that our inspection does not assess the alignment of vehicle parts or body panels, nor can it determine if any part is bent or deviates from its original shape. For concerns related to these issues, we recommend a consultation with a registered smash repairer. During our Comprehensive/Premium Inspections, CarInspecta will identify significant damages and any evident previous accident repairs. However, due to the limitations imposed by inspecting vehicles in various on-site conditions, which may include poor lighting or vehicles being dirty, unwashed, or wet, minor defects such as small dents, scratches, or hail damage may not be recorded in our report. It remains the responsibility of the buyer to personally re-examine the vehicle prior to finalising the purchase.
