The ETA has teamed up with DEKRA Vehicle Inspections to help you make an informed decision when buying a second hand car.
What is a DEKRA vehicle inspection?
A professional DEKRA vehicle inspection engineer checks the car for roadworthiness and lets the buyer know of any problems.
Why should I buy a DEKRA vehicle inspection?
Few people have the expertise to distinguish a mechanically-sound car from one which could cause future problems and expense. A fully-qualified DEKRA engineer can be sent to carry out an inspection and provide a detailed report, helping you avoid damaged cars, write-offs, stolen cars and ‘cut-n-shuts’ (two cars welded together).
