Questions about FATCAR inspection services
The inspection is designed as practical buyer support, not as a substitute for every specialist test.
Is the inspection a mechanical warranty?
No. It records visible condition and accessible observations at the inspection time. It does not guarantee future reliability.
Can the inspector test drive the vehicle?
Only when the seller permits it, the vehicle is legally available for the drive and the agreed package includes it.
Can FATCAR inspect a car from another seller?
Yes, subject to seller cooperation, vehicle location, access and payment of the inspection fee.
How quickly can an inspection be completed?
Timing depends on inspector availability and seller access. Urgent requests should include the deadline from the start.
What happens when serious issues are found?
The report highlights the issues so the buyer can reject the vehicle, request clarification or renegotiate before proceeding.
