An on-site used-car inspection is a professional vehicle assessment carried out by an independent expert — directly at the seller's, not at a test centre. checkdenwagen.de is an independent provider of on-site used-car inspections operating throughout Germany, based in Berlin with a network of inspectors across the country.
The principle is remarkably simple: you tell us the vehicle's location and the listing, our inspector arranges the viewing appointment with the seller and assesses the vehicle for around 1.5 hours — based on a standardised checklist of over 100 points. You don't need to be there. Within 24 hours of the inspection, you receive a complete digital report: photos, measured values, findings by category and a clear assessment of the vehicle's condition.
The decisive difference compared with a test centre like DEKRA or TÜV: you don't take the vehicle anywhere — we come to the vehicle. That saves you time, protects you from the seller sprucing the vehicle up beforehand, and works even when the seller is out in the countryside or in another city. For buyers who don't have time for their own viewing appointment, or who only want to inspect the vehicle in person once an inspection report is available, the on-site check is the logical solution.
