Independence

Paid by the buyer, nothing else.

Every inspection is commissioned and paid for by the person buying the car. The fee is the only money that changes hands, so the findings you read are the findings we would give a friend.

01 / Who pays
The buyer pays a fixed fee for the visit. Sellers, dealers and repair shops never pay us, and we take no commission on a sale.
02 / No referrals
We accept no referral fees, finder fees or incentives from dealerships, service stations or parts suppliers. When we flag a fault we name the defect, not a workshop.
03 / No repair work
We do not repair, prepare or sell the vehicles we inspect, and we hold no stock. There is no second invoice waiting behind the report.

This policy applies to every booking made through sportneews.com.

What the inspection covers

Every dossier follows the same sequence. These are the fixed checkpoint totals per system, the same 62 items whether the car costs 5,000 or 50,000.

The inspection report reflects conditions accessible at the time of inspection and is not a warranty, guarantee, insurance policy, or a substitute for the seller's own disclosure.

Maintenance history depends on the records and databases available for this vehicle; where records are missing, the dossier states so. The inspection report reflects conditions accessible at the time of inspection and is not a warranty, guarantee or insurance policy.
