Every used car we sell spends most of a day in our workshop before it reaches the showroom. The 150-point check is not a quick look under the bonnet: it is a written list our technicians work through and sign, and the report travels with the car.
What we check
The list follows the way a car is built, from the parts that keep you safe to the ones that keep you comfortable.
- Brakes, tyres and suspension: disc and pad thickness, tread depth, shock absorbers and every bush we can reach
- Engine and gearbox: fluids, belts and leaks, a cold start and a road test of at least 20 km
- Body and glass: paint depth on every panel, chips, corrosion and the state of the seals
- Electrics and software: the battery, lights, sensors, infotainment updates and any stored fault codes
- Interior: seats, belts, climate control, windows and the smell test nobody writes down but everyone notices
When something does not pass
If a part is below our limit, we replace it before the car goes on sale, at our cost. Tyres under 4 mm, brake pads under half their life and any warning light on the dashboard are fixed, not mentioned in the small print.
Electric and hybrid cars get one more page: a battery health certificate read from the car’s own system, so you know how much range is really left.
Ask to see the report for any car in the inventory. If you come in for a test drive, we will have it printed and waiting on the desk.
