Pre-purchase vehicle check

Before you
hand over money.

Buying any used car — EV, PHEV, or petrol. Thirty minutes on the seller's driveway reveals what the seller won't tell you — cleared fault codes, hidden battery degradation, electrical faults that are "just a sensor, I'll sort it". From £45.

Buying an EV or PHEV?
Add an Aviloo battery certificate for £44 more.

The standard check covers fault codes, 12V, and a visual inspection. Upgrading to Pre-Purchase EV adds an independent Aviloo SOH certificate — the only battery result a buyer, dealer or insurer will actually accept. Total £79.

Push-button or stop-start car with only one fob?

Compatible push-button and stop-start flip-key vehicles only. Existing working key must be present. PAD programmes a spare fob during the same visit — no extra travel cost.

What sellers don't mention

The three things
every buyer misses.

Every private seller has cleaned the dash, valeted the interior, and gone over the service book. None of that tells you what the car's computer knows.

01 — CLEARED CODES
"I reset the dash"
"Warning lights cleared before the viewing don't mean the fault is fixed — the history is still in the BMS. Our scan sees codes that have been stored and cleared, with timestamps."
→ History exposed
02 — EV BATTERY HEALTH
"Dash says 88%"
"The car's own estimate is not independent. A Leaf showing '11 bars' could have 89% SOH or 82%. Add Aviloo to the pre-purchase check (+£44) for the real number before you commit."
→ Aviloo upgrade available
03 — PHANTOM FAULTS
"It'll be a sensor"
"Intermittent faults don't always show up during a test drive. Live data monitoring during a short drive can catch issues the owner insists aren't there."
→ Live data included

The real thing

This is what you
actually receive.

Every test produces a sealed Aviloo PDF certificate like this one. Issued on site, emailed before I leave. Send it directly to a buyer, dealer, insurer or main dealer — the QR code lets anyone verify it's real on Aviloo's database.

Common questions

Pre-purchase questions.
Answered.

Ideally 24 hours. For urgent viewings, WhatsApp us — we can often attend the same day for local addresses within 10 miles of Pontypridd. Send the listing in advance so I can prep.
That's your answer. Any private or trade seller unwilling to permit a 30-minute independent inspection has something to hide — no legitimate seller refuses. It's free to walk away. You've just avoided a bad purchase.
No — those are separate paid services (HPI, AutoCheck, etc.) that check the vehicle's written-off/finance/stolen status from databases. PAD checks the car's physical and electronic condition. Ideally you do both — they cover different risks.
Yes within reason. Free travel within 10 miles of Pontypridd; beyond that, a small mileage charge applies. Cardiff, Bridgend, Merthyr, Swansea all workable. Message us with the location first.
I'll tell you what I find — the data, the codes, the battery health. Whether the asking price is fair given those findings is ultimately your decision, but I'll explain clearly whether each issue is cosmetic, expensive, or a dealbreaker. Honest assessments, not sales.
