About these scenes and what the inspection covers
These are illustrative slides built from generated images to show how a pre-purchase inspection runs. They are not actual photography or inspection results for any specific vehicle, and they do not guarantee that the parts shown match every 2026 trim. Part locations and final equipment are taken from the actual car, its VIN and its manual.
The sequence covers body and paint, chassis, glass, lighting, doors, cabin, infotainment, air conditioning, starting, engine, diagnostics, fluids, cooling, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, tyres, exhaust, safety, electrical equipment and the road test. Battery type and any hybrid or charging hardware are determined by trim, and traction battery or charge port checks are never carried over automatically from an electric model.

OBD Scanner Report: 8-Point Diagnostic Code Check for UAE Used Cars
Every modern car logs every fault it has ever had, and most sellers clear those codes ten minutes before a viewing.

Here are the 8 OBD checkpoints we run on every InspectCar inspection using a dealer-grade Autel MaxiSys MS909.
