001 Mobile inspection

Mobile inspection in Ukraine

Know the car before you buy

Roughly 60 checkpoints across engine and drivetrain performance, body and structure, electronic systems, and visible defects. The inspector travels to the car, at the seller's address or a public lot.

Add it to your booking request and the inspector arrives prepared.

01

Engine and drivetrain

Caution: oil seep
  • Cold start, idle stability, oil and coolant seepage.

Mobile inspection in Ukraine

What we check

Four inspection areas, about 60 checkpoints. Every area states what it covers and what it deliberately leaves out, so you know what a report can and cannot prove before you pay a deposit.

Area 01

Engine and drivetrain performance

  • Cold start, idle stability, exhaust colour and smoke
  • Fault codes read from every control module, with stored freeze-frame data
  • Oil, coolant and fluid condition; visible leaks under the vehicle
  • Road test: gear shifts, turbo response, clutch engagement, vibration

Excludes: no dismantling, and no compression or leak-down test as standard.

Area 02

Body and structure

  • Paint thickness readings across all panels, roof and pillars
  • Panel gaps, weld seams and bolt marks on structural members
  • Corrosion, previous repair work, replaced glass and trim
  • Underbody and sill condition with the car raised or on a mirror

Excludes: no paint stripping, and no hidden damage behind factory trim.

Area 03

Electronic systems

  • Live sensor data from engine, ABS, airbag, climate and body modules
  • Cleared-code history and readiness monitors after a scan
  • Battery health, charging voltage, alternator output under load
  • Driver assistance, cameras, parking sensors, infotainment functions

Excludes: no module programming, no repair, and no forensic odometer verification.

Area 04

Visible defects

  • Tyre tread depth, manufacture dates and uneven wear patterns
  • Brake discs, pads and handbrake travel
  • Interior wear against the stated mileage and use case
  • Documented photos of every defect found in the walkaround

Excludes: no service history authentication, and no legal or ownership check.

Every finding lands in a two-column ledger: seller claims on the left, inspector findings on the right. See the full coverage matrix or book an inspection.

02 Process

How the inspection works

From the first message to a written report in about two hours of driving time. Four steps, no gaps, no surprise charges.

  1. 01

    Booking

    Send the VIN or the listing link and choose STANDARD 2,300 UAH or EXTENDED 3,400 UAH. Travel is included in the eight listed cities; outside them the distance fee is quoted before you confirm.

  2. 02

    Inspector on site

    The inspector arrives at the seller's location or the meeting point you set, at the agreed time, with a mobile kit. No dismantling is performed, and no compression or leak-down test is part of the standard scope.

  3. 03

    90 to 120 minutes of checks

    Roughly 60 checkpoints across engine and drivetrain performance, body and structure, electronic systems, and visible defects. You get the findings as they are recorded, not a summary written afterwards.

  4. 04

    Report within about 2 hours

    A comparison ledger with the seller claim on the left and the inspector finding on the right, each row carrying a pass, caution or critical chip and a short note. Read a full example before you book.

Odometer history is not forensically verified, service records are not authenticated, and the inspection is visual and electronic within the published scope. See the published limits.

05 / Booking ledger

Price and service area

Two flat packages, honored as published. Travel is included inside the eight listed cities. Outside them the inspector quotes a distance-based fee in writing before you confirm.

  • Visible defects, documented
Book STANDARD inspection

EXTENDED

3,400UAH

  • Everything in STANDARD
  • Longer road test and cold-start check
  • Extended underbody and paint-depth pass

Book EXTENDED inspection

Served cities

  • Kyiv
  • Lviv
  • Odesa
  • Kharkiv
  • Dnipro
  • Zaporizhzhia
  • Vinnytsia
  • Poltava

Travel fee rule: inside these eight cities the fee is 0 UAH. For any other locality the inspector quotes a per-kilometre fee in writing before booking, measured from the nearest served city, and that amount is fixed in the confirmation. Nothing is added after the inspection.

Payment is made after the report is delivered. Ask the inspector for a quote outside the list, or read what we check first.

02 / SAMPLE REPORT

Seller claim vs inspector finding

Each report line is written as a comparison. The listing says one thing, the inspection records another, and every row carries a severity chip so you can weigh the risk while you are still negotiating.

  • Pass
  • Caution
  • Critical
Sample excerpt, four areas, about 60 checkpoints
Checkpoint Seller claim Inspector finding Verdict
Engine cold start "Runs perfectly, nothing to do." Rattle on cold start at 1,200 rpm; misfire counters rising on cylinder 3. Critical
Body and paint "Never repainted, no accidents." Paint depth 210 to 260 micrometers on the rear left quarter; factory range is 90 to 140. Caution
Structure and underbody "Garage kept, clean underneath." Original spot welds on all aprons, no rail deformation, no seam sealer over paint. Pass
Electronic systems "All modules error free." Fault memory cleared 4 days before the listing; input shaft speed sensor pending re-check. Caution
Visible defects "Only a small scratch on the bumper." Windscreen chip in the driver line of sight; both front tyres below 2 mm. Critical

Critical rows do not mean the car is undriveable. They mean the price should reflect the repair, or you should walk away. See the full ledger example.

06 / Independence

We are paid by you, not the seller

A report is only worth reading when the inspector has nothing riding on the sale. Money moves one way here: from you to us. No seller, dealer or marketplace pays for a single line of it.

What we refuse to do

  • 01

    We do not buy cars

    We never make an offer on the car we just inspected, and we never take a trade-in.

  • 02

    We do not broker deals

    No finder's fee, no commission from a dealership, no payment for bringing a buyer.

  • 03

    We do not sell warranties or insurance

    Nothing is attached to the report, so nothing can tilt the verdict.

  • 04

    We do not invoice the seller

    One payer, one flat price: whoever orders the inspection pays for it.

What we bring to the car

  • OBD scanner
  • Paint gauge
  • Endoscope
  • Tread gauge

Every tool answers one question: is this car worth the money being asked?

Flat fee for the visit, travel included in the eight listed cities. You keep the findings, the photos and the fault codes.
