Motors is partnering with online mechanic platform ClickMechanic to provide pre-purchase vehicle inspections, designed to boost buyer confidence and assist independent dealers with remote sales beyond their local territories.
The inspections, conducted by ClickMechanic’s nationwide network of vetted technicians, offer a review of up to 185 points, including a test drive, from £79.
Inspections are available within 48 hours, with same-day and next-day options. A comprehensive report is emailed to the prospective buyer immediately after the inspection.
Vehicles listed by independent dealers on Motors will feature the option for buyers to select a pre-purchase inspection. ClickMechanic technicians will coordinate directly with dealers to arrange the inspections.
Lucy Tugby, marketing director of Motors, said: “Transparency is a key element of any used car sale, and we believe offering ClickMechanic inspections will resonate with buyers, giving them the assurance they need to complete their purchases.
“These inspections will enable independent dealers to better engage with buyers who have found cars online but want extra confidence, particularly those unable to view or test drive the vehicle in person.”
Andrew Jervis, co-founder and CEO of ClickMechanic, added: “Providing quick access to professional vehicle inspections is an exciting first for the UK automotive marketplace industry. We’re thrilled to partner with Motors to bring this new level of service and transparency to car buyers.”
