CarExamer

CarExamer is a United Kingdom-based pre-purchase used-car inspection and buyer-services platform. Founded in 2019 by Klavs Simkus, the business connects used-car buyers with qualified, independent vehicle inspectors across the UK so that customers can understand a vehicle's condition before committing to a purchase. The company grew out of practical motor-trade experience, including vehicle diagnostics, workshop repairs and roadside assistance, and it positions itself as an independent assessor that looks beyond the seller's advert and description. CarExamer's core offering is a tiered set of independent vehicle inspection packages. The Basic inspection starts from £142.99 and allows up to 70 minutes for 100+ checks including a road test; the Standard package starts from £189.99 with up to 120 minutes for 200+ checks and a road test of up to 15 minutes; and the Premium package starts from £256.99 for buyers purchasing unseen, travelling long distances or spending serious money. Alongside inspections, CarExamer provides car history reports covering finance, theft, insurance write-off, mileage and vehicle identity concerns, MOT history checks, recall and data checks, vehicle valuation, Vehicle Excise Duty reports, car sourcing support and practical inspection training courses. It also offers free vehicle data and market-insight tools as a first look before deeper checks. The company reports more than 3,000 completed inspections, more than 3,000 unique clients served, over £2 million in potential repair costs flagged in completed inspection reports, and 30+ inspectors available nationwide. It serves buyers of everyday family cars as well as classics, luxury vehicles and motorhomes. CarExamer coordinates the booking between the customer and the inspection provider and does not sell the vehicles being assessed, which underpins its independent positioning. Its reports are supplied as clearly structured PDFs so that evidence is easier to review and retain, and the company advises customers to combine data findings with service records, the V5C and an independent inspection before buying.

CarExamer was founded in 2019 by Klavs Simkus as a UK pre-purchase car inspection service. The business grew out of practical experience in the motor trade, including vehicle diagnostics, workshop repairs and roadside assistance. That background shaped the company's focus on helping used-car buyers look beyond an advert, recognise potential concerns and make decisions based on inspection findings rather than the seller's description alone. From its early years, CarExamer operated as a platform that connects customers with qualified, independent vehicle inspectors across the UK rather than employing a single in-house inspection team. The company coordinates the booking between the customer and the inspection provider and does not sell the vehicles being assessed, which supports its independent positioning. Over time it expanded its service range beyond inspections into vehicle data and buyer support. Its services now include car history reports covering finance, theft, insurance write-off, mileage and vehicle identity concerns; MOT history checks; recall and data checks; vehicle valuation; Vehicle Excise Duty reports; car sourcing support; and practical inspection training courses. It also offers free vehicle data and market-insight tools as a first look before deeper checks. CarExamer's inspection packages are tiered by budget and level of detail. The Basic inspection starts from £142.99 and allows up to 70 minutes for 100+ checks including a road test. The Standard package starts from £189.99 with up to 120 minutes for 200+ checks and a road test of up to 15 minutes. The Premium package starts from £256.99 and is aimed at buyers purchasing unseen, travelling long distances or putting serious money into a purchase. The company serves buyers of everyday family cars as well as classics, luxury vehicles and motorhomes. By the time of its published company information, CarExamer reported more than 3,000 completed inspections recorded across the UK, more than 3,000 unique clients served, over £2 million in potential repair costs flagged in completed inspection reports, and 30+ inspectors available nationwide. Its reports are supplied as clearly structured PDFs so that evidence is easier to review and retain. The company advises customers to use data findings to ask better questions and to combine them with service records, the V5C and an independent inspection before buying.
