DS 3 E-Tense pre purchase check, on the spot in Budapest

You send us the listing and the car's location in Budapest. We arrange a time with the seller, and an English-speaking car inspector comes to the car to carry out a full pre purchase inspection - engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electronics, body and a road test where possible. The whole check usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. You then receive the findings in clear English, either in person or by email.

Most of what matters on a used DS 3 E-Tense is invisible from the driver's seat, which is exactly why we go looking for the faults that tend to surface later. If it is the EV, we read the battery's state of health, check how it charges and cools, confirm the software and any recalls are up to date, and inspect the high-voltage cabling - the battery is the value, so that is where we concentrate. As an everyday electric car its wear shows in the suspension bushes, the tyres and the brakes, along with the urban knocks, kerbed wheels and parking scrapes that build up over the years. On this French electric model we look closely at the electrics, sensors and infotainment, and at the high-voltage battery and charging, which is where its costs and occasional quirks concentrate. We will show you what we find and what it means for the price, so a list of faults becomes leverage and a clean result becomes peace of mind.

Yes. On an electric or hybrid DS 3 E-Tense we read the battery state-of-health data, test charging and inspect the high-voltage system, so you understand the most expensive component before you buy. Battery condition does more to set an EV's real value than mileage does. We also check the 12-volt battery and the cooling, which are easy to overlook but matter.

We do. comprehensive used car inspection onsite Budapest is just one way buyers describe what we offer: an independent car appraiser of the DS 3 E-Tense, on site and reported in English. Whatever you typed into the search box, the work is the same and so is the standard. Tell us where the car is and we'll arrange it.

Yes - that's exactly what we do. You can hire an independent mobile mechanic to inspect the DS 3 E-Tense on the spot, with no connection to the seller, so the verdict is genuinely on your side. Because we're paid by you and never by the seller, there's no incentive to wave through a problem. If something is wrong with the car, you hear about it.

We inspect the DS 3 E-Tense for physical evidence of accident repair - paint thickness, panel gaps, weld marks, replaced components and overspray. Combined with the visible structure and a diagnostic scan, this reveals far more than a clean-looking advert ever will. We can't pull every national crash database at the roadside, but a repaired structure leaves traces, and finding them is exactly what the inspection is for.
