Arrange a Pre-Purchase Car Inspection in China

A professional on-site inspection provides observations from a trained inspector using physical tools. Availability, scope, timing and price are confirmed for the specific vehicle before scheduling.

How to use it

1. Prepare the VIN, vehicle location, seller contact and preferred time.
2. Send an inspection enquiry; the team confirms coverage, checklist and cost.
3. Review the delivered inspection findings and arrange a separate practical-function check where needed.

How to read the result

• Prioritise structural, accident-repair and safety-related findings.
• Use photos and item descriptions to ask the seller about any defect.
• Treat small practical functions such as air conditioning, audio and cameras as a separate checklist unless expressly included.

Data and method

ChaBoShi inspections rely on trained people examining the vehicle on site with professional tools. The resulting report reflects what was observed under the agreed checklist at that time.

Inspection scope and deliverables should be confirmed before the visit; a physical report does not retrospectively fill gaps in online records.

What the result cannot prove

An inspection cannot guarantee every hidden defect or predict future failures.

Air conditioning, audio and other day-to-day functions need an explicit hands-on check if they are outside the inspector’s agreed scope.

When to use this check

• You are overseas and need independent eyes on a car in China before payment.
• VIN records show a concern that requires physical verification.
