When buying a used car, it's important to have it inspected thoroughly to ensure that it's in good condition.
While many people focus on the engine, gearbox, and clutch, the structural body of the car is just as important. In fact, it's one of the most expensive parts of the car that can't be replaced. That's why it's crucial to have a pre-purchase car inspection that includes a thorough examination of the body of the car. Only then can you be sure that you're making a smart investment and buying a car that will be safe and reliable for years to come.

During the pre-purchase car inspection that was completed on the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Dublin, we found that the vehicle was imported from the UK and sold in the auction in February 2019 and had no NCT from 31/12/2020 - 06/06/2023.
Structural repair was done on the rear right quarter panel. The rear right door was replaced. The front right door was repaired and resprayed. Front right-wing resprayed. The front left door was resprayed. The rear left door was resprayed and repaired.
Front passenger side seatbelt was replaced.
The respray that was done on the parts mentioned above is poor quality: Dirt is visible underneath the paint, faded paint in some parts, excessive amount of lacquer used.
Officially damage claim didn't go through the insurance company so it's clear from insurance write-off!
