02 / 05 · Sample dossier

What a finished dossier looks like

Every report closes with three stamped verdicts: documents, mileage and condition. You read one card, you see where the car stands.

  • Pass Verified against the source document.
  • Review A gap we can explain, not a fault.
  • Fail Cost or risk the seller should cover.

03 / 08 · Scope

What we check, and what we do not.

Every line below is written into the dossier. The status words mean the same thing on every page: Pass verified on the day, Review needs a second look or a document, Fail found and priced as a risk.

Included in the inspection

  • Registration and VIN

    Technical passport, plate and VIN plate matched against the chassis stamp.

    Pass
  • Mileage plausibility

    Service records, pedal and seat wear, ECU distance data compared.

    Review
  • Service history file

    Stamps, invoices and timing-belt intervals checked against the odometer.

    Review
  • Body and paint survey

    Panel gaps, paint thickness readings and corrosion points recorded.

    Review

    Chassis legs, welds and airbag history checked under the trim.

    Fail

    Pass

Explicitly out of scope

  • Ownership transfer and notary certificationSigned by the buyer at the notary, not by us.
  • Customs clearance and MVS re-registrationHandled at official service centres only.
  • Repairs, parts and post-purchase warrantyWe price the risk; we do not carry it.
  • Price negotiation or payment holdingBuyer and seller settle directly.
  • Sealed internals without dismantlingGearbox and ECU maps stay unopened unless agreed in writing.

The file stops where the law starts. Documentation review and condition assessment feed the same dossier. See coverage and pricing for the current fee.

04 / 06 · Process

From shortlist to signed dossier in 24 hours

Four hours of legwork on your behalf, with the timetable published before you pay. Every item ends with a written status, not a phone opinion.

  1. Hour 0

    Intake and triage

    You send your budget, city and up to three listings. We run each VIN against the public registry and tell you which cars deserve a paid visit.

  2. Hour 1

    Booking with the seller

    We agree a viewing window, ask for the service book and confirm the car has not been re-listed under a second plate.

  3. Hour 3

    On-site inspection, 90 minutes

    Cold start, paint gauge on every panel, suspension check, OBD scan and a body-gap walkaround. You are not required to attend.

  4. Hour 5

    Findings, marked Pass, Review or Fail

    An early message flags anything that should stop the deal today, with the repair estimate range attached to each fail.

  5. Hour 24

    Dossier delivered

    Photo set, scan report, mileage trace and the ownership document checklist for the MVS service centre, in one file you can take to the notary.

Answers before you pay a deposit

What a buyer-side inspection can prove, what stays outside it, and which steps belong to the official authorities.

No. The dossier records what is verifiable on the day of the visit: paint thickness, suspension play, engine behaviour, fault codes and document status. Wear that shows up next month stays outside the report. Each finding is stamped Pass, Review or Fail, so you see the size of the risk you keep.

You get a written document review and condition findings, with a Pass, Review or Fail verdict on every item, plus repair ranges where the car needs work.
