CarAudit™ — Guarantee of a good purchase
Before the sale, each vehicle undergoes a detailed certified inspection by an experienced mechanic trained to detect hidden defects and potential risks. You know exactly what you are buying ahead of time, and we guarantee the condition as stated in the certificate. CarAudit is our mechanic on your side.
Detailed inspection
We won't miss a thing. Each inspection consists of 270 inspection items. We will inform you about the vehicle’s condition before you decide to buy it.
Guaranteed vehicle condition
We guarantee the condition of the vehicle as stated in the CarAudit certificate. We will compensate for any possible deviation, deficiency or defect detected.
Certified mechanics
We work only with qualified mechanics with years of experience who can detect even the most minute defects, be they already present or imminent.
The purchase starts with a CarAudit™ inspection
01.
Vehicle certification
First, we will verify all information about the vehicle and check its legal status in available databases and registers.
02.
Detailed inspection
Our mechanic will personally inspect and test the vehicle based on the criteria of our strict standardized procedure.
03.
Our recommendation
Based on the inspection data, we will evaluate the overall condition of the vehicle and give you our recommendation on whether you should buy it or not.
We know what we are doing and we are thorough.
Each model has its specifics and there can be many risks. But our experienced mechanics know what to focus on and what to watch out for. You can be sure that you will make the right purchase.
Non-matching parts, weld joint repairs, differing paint thickness or damaged light fixtures are all indicators that the vehicle has been in a major crash
Blue smoke from the exhaust or a smoky tailpipe suggest combustion issues
Several different things may cause uneven engine thrust, e.g. a seized turbocharger
History and legal defects
To prevent unpleasant surprises after the purchase, we check available European registers and databases for:
Service history and accident records
Odometer rolled back
Stolen Vehicles Register
Unpaid leasing or other financial liabilities
Possibility of VAT deduction
The condition of the exterior and interior
Even if the vehicle appears new, it can still have hidden traces of an accident or neglected servicing. Our mechanic takes photos of everything and checks:
Paint thickness reveals if the vehicle has been in an accident
Quality of previous repairs and traces of corrosion
Condition of the engine, gearbox, brakes, etc.
Functioning of available equipment
Does the condition correspond to age and mileage
Diagnostics
Expert diagnostics via the control unit also reveal things that may go unnoticed during a routine inspection, such as:
Error codes
Condition of the diesel particulate filter
Air-conditioning malfunctions
Interventions in vehicle electronics
Defects that might not be apparent from a test drive
Test drive
When driving, many defects can appear that go undetected when idling. We focus on:
Gear shifting and clutch function
Smoothness of power increase
Directional stability and steering wheel vibration
Brake performance and shock absorber function
Unusual noises

Buying a car on Carvago was simply a pleasure. Everything went smoothly, I always knew what stage the car was in and what would happen next. Excellent communication with everyone at Carvago, they are just great. The car was delivered in great condition, exactly as described by the mechanic in the car audit. The car is beautiful and thanks a lot to all of you at Carvago My dream came true and it was the best...birthday present!!!! Regards, your fan 😊

Carvago arranged for me to buy a Kia Sportage, which after a few tens of kilometers had a problem with the exhaust system, which the company's acceptance technician had no chance to discover on the spot. Carvago arranged a service at an authorized service center and the relatively expensive replacement of the GPF filter and sensor was covered by the company's warranty. Even these complications and their quick solution showed the solidity and professionalism of this company.

Pleasant and professional approach of all Carvago employees. All I had to do was choose the car and I left the rest to them. They registered the vehicle, did a technical inspection, found defects on the vehicle and removed them. Professional attitude when taking over the car so I could just get in and drive away. I am extremely satisfied with Carvago's overall approach, they saved me a lot of time and worry. I can only recommend Carvago.Jiří ŽaludCrayfish

I used Carvago to buy a car on the recommendation of a friend who was satisfied with their services.The company representatives communicated regularly, helped with the selection and all necessary steps, I was always informed about the status and next steps. The only minor flaw was the longer implementation time, when the whole action got stuck twice during the process and I had to find out what was being waited for and why (the situation was always explained). Anyway, at the end of the fifth week after payment, the car was delivered in perfect order. The payment for the company's services was completely acceptable to me vs. time that I would have to spend personally on the entire transaction.

Thank you very much for the service you provide. Very fair dealings, delivery time less than a month. Everything in perfect order and perfect communication from Carvago. The car is in very good condition. Thank you very much and many satisfied customers.
