Dealer & Trade Stock Checks
Helping you avoid undesirable cars
An estimated 40,000 unrecorded write-offs are sold to unknowing Motorists each year in the UK.
Unrecorded Write-offs - The Problem
Many vehicles have accidents, some worse than others.
Vehicles that are sent to salvage auctions are done so for a reason, they are generally uneconomical to repair.
Unscrupulous traders fix-up these vehicles, then get them into to used car system via a number of methods, including part-exchange and car buying sites.
There is no provenance to the quality of parts used to repair these vehicles and some have been shown to have deployed air-bags removed and not replaced using bypass techniques.
