VAT is already included in the displayed guide prices. For example, AED 400 comprises AED 380.95 for the service and AED 19.05 VAT. The agreed Dubai visit is included; any special vehicle requirements, paid site access or additional work are quoted before you book.
Repairs, parts, dismantling, lift access, compression testing, high-voltage battery testing, paid history reports and return visits are separate. These packages assess accessible condition; they cannot certify a complete accident history or guarantee future reliability.
Your inspection and report
Report target: within 6 working hours after the inspection. Every package includes a digital report with key photographs, recorded limitations and a brief explanation of the findings.
We confirm the arrival window and report deadline when booking. Late appointments may have a next-working-day deadline. Same-day inspection slots depend on availability, location and seller access.
Visit times are estimates. Restricted access, an unsafe car or further testing can change what is completed; any follow-up work is agreed separately.
Buying the car? Comprehensive and Extended can be booked at a suitable seller location. Our pre-purchase inspection page explains the buying checks. Compare other services in the inspection price guide.
At the parked car
The package comparison shows what is included at each level. The inspector records the checks completed and any area that could not be accessed.
Accessible panels, glass, lamps, closures and visible repair clues. Comprehensive and Extended include paint-depth readings on suitable panels.
Accessible fluid levels and condition, visible leaks, hoses and running observations. The inspection does not involve opening internal engine components.
Visible tyre wear and sidewall condition, wheel damage, accessible brake areas and warning indicators. Hidden components may need workshop access.
Selected windows, locks, displays, lighting, climate controls and accessible safety equipment. The report identifies controls that could not be tested.
Essential includes a basic engine fault-code scan. Comprehensive and Extended include supported vehicle modules. Fault codes are considered alongside physical findings and may require further diagnosis.
Comprehensive and Extended include a road test when permitted and safe. Seller permission, the car’s condition and suitable driving access must be confirmed first.
Check the location first
A driveway, dealer forecourt or workplace parking area can be suitable. Basement and storage locations need a closer look at access, lighting and working conditions.
Send a map pin and a brief description of the parking space. Mention security rules, restricted access or a car that cannot move before arranging the visit.
If the site cannot support the requested checks safely, another location or workshop appointment may be needed.
The seller or authorised contact must allow access to the cabin, bonnet, boot and diagnostic port.
Allow room around the car to open doors and examine its panels. A sloping, sandy or active traffic area can restrict the inspection.
The inspector needs enough light to examine the car. Any engine-running checks must suit the ventilation and site rules.
If a road test is requested, confirm the owner’s permission and the car’s availability for safe, lawful driving.
Choose the right access
A mobile visit saves moving the car. A workshop becomes more useful when your decision depends on lift access or equipment that cannot be used at the parking location.
| What matters | Mobile inspection | Workshop inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle movement | The car stays at the agreed location. | The car needs to reach the workshop. |
| Underbody view | Limited to areas safely visible from ground level. | Lift access may reveal more when included and available. |
| Working conditions | Depend on parking space, light, weather and site permission. | Controlled working space can support more consistent access. |
| Testing equipment | Portable checks suited to the vehicle and location. | May support lifting, measurements and separately agreed specialist tests. |
Tell us if the car has very low clearance, suspected underside damage, a major leak or a concern requiring internal testing. We can discuss suitable inspection options before you book.
Your findings after the visit
Arrange access through the seller or another authorised contact. Every package includes a digital report with key photographs and an explanation of the findings. The delivery target is within 6 working hours after inspection, with the deadline confirmed at booking.
A condition inspection cannot guarantee that every hidden or intermittent fault will appear. Our inspection report guide explains how to read findings and limitations.
Arrange the visit
Start with the car and where it is parked. The team will check availability and confirm the appointment details.
Share the make, model, year, Dubai location and reason for the inspection. Mention any warning, damage or access restriction.
Choose the package and confirm the total including VAT, arrival window and report deadline. Ask about cancellation or a required return visit.
Have the keys and an authorised contact available. Confirm the seller knows which checks have been requested.
Allow time to read the results and clarify any concern before making your next decision about the car.
Send the vehicle and parking details together so the team can confirm the right checks, access and total price.
Inspector.ae provides private vehicle inspections in Dubai, with appointments at Al Quoz 4 and mobile visits by arrangement. Read about our inspection approach.
Before the appointment
Guide prices are AED 300 for Essential, AED 400 for Comprehensive and AED 500 for Extended. Each includes 5% VAT, one visit to the agreed Dubai location and a digital report with key photographs. The final total is confirmed for your car and any additional requirements before booking.
Only if access, lighting, ventilation and space allow the requested checks to be completed safely. Share the building rules and parking details before booking. A different location may be needed if the car cannot be examined or operated safely.
Allow 45–60 minutes for Essential, 60–90 minutes for Comprehensive and 90–120 minutes for Extended. The report target is within 6 working hours after inspection. We confirm the arrival window and report deadline at booking; late appointments may have a next-working-day deadline. Same-day slots depend on availability and access.
You can arrange the inspection remotely if an authorised person at the location provides the keys and permissions. Agree how you will receive the findings and who the inspector can contact during the visit.
Tell us before booking. Some visible checks may still be possible, but starting, running and road-test observations will be unavailable. Fault diagnosis or a workshop visit may be needed to answer your main concern.
Send the exact model, year and any modifications so the team can confirm suitable equipment and checks. High-voltage work, traction-battery capacity testing and manufacturer-specific reports require separate confirmation.
No. Choose one package suited to the checks you need. Comprehensive and Extended can be used for a pre-purchase inspection at a suitable seller location. The confirmed total includes the selected package, 5% VAT and the agreed Dubai visit; any additional work is quoted separately.
Contact the team as soon as you know. Confirm the seller's permission before the inspector travels, and ask for the cancellation, restricted-access and return-visit terms with your quotation.
The inspection is a condition assessment. Repairs, replacement parts, dismantling and further specialist testing are separate from an inspection-only quotation. The findings help you decide what work to request next.
No. Inspector.ae provides a private vehicle-condition inspection. This service does not issue an RTA passing certificate or renew vehicle registration.
