Sicher-Check Auto › Used car inspection before purchase in Germany
Used car inspection in Germany before you buy
We inspect vehicles before purchase: OBD diagnostics, paint thickness check, photos, videos, test drive and an honest assessment. We work on the buyer’s side, not the seller’s. If needed, we can also help with price negotiation, export paperwork and delivery.

Inspection before purchase
Not a repair service, but a practical condition check before you commit to the deal.
🧰
OBD, paint check, test drive
We check the body, faults, interior, available mileage data and how the car actually behaves on the road.

Photos, videos, report
Important issues are documented, and in the end you get a clear recommendation.

Negotiation, export, delivery
After a successful inspection, we can help with the next steps around the vehicle.

FAQ — common questions
What is included in a pre-purchase car inspection?
Depending on the vehicle and the situation, we check the body, paintwork, OBD data, interior, visible issues, available control unit data and, where possible, how the car behaves during a test drive.
Do you only work in Berlin?
No. Our base is in Brandenburg, but we can travel across Berlin, throughout Germany and, by arrangement, to other EU countries.
Is a listing link enough to start?
Yes. In most cases, a link from mobile.de, AutoScout24 or Kleinanzeigen is enough for us to assess whether an inspection can be arranged.
Will you honestly tell me whether the car is worth buying?
Yes. That is exactly the point of the service: not just to collect technical data, but to give you a clear and honest recommendation — buy it, negotiate hard or walk away.
Can you help with temporary or export plates?
Yes. If needed, we can help with Kurzzeitkennzeichen and Ausfuhrkennzeichen. Official fees, insurance and third-party costs are charged separately.
Do you provide a warranty for the vehicle?
No. We are not the seller of the vehicle. We provide a professional assessment of the car’s condition at the time of inspection.
Send us the car listing — we will tell you whether the inspection is worth it
The fastest way to get started is WhatsApp. If a good car is already on the market, it is better not to wait too long. We help you decide quickly whether the car is worth your time and money.
