Kia EV9 pre purchase check, on the spot in Budapest

Yes - that's exactly what we do. You can hire an independent mobile mechanic to inspect the Kia EV9 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 downplay a problem. If something is wrong with the car, you hear about it.

Plenty of buyers arrive worried about a model's reputation, but the honest picture for a Kia EV9 is that the individual car's history decides far more than the badge does. On an EV the brakes often wear little but can stick from underuse, so alongside battery state of health and charging we confirm the brakes, tyres and 12-volt battery are all in order. As an electric SUV it carries real weight, so the suspension components, wheel bearings and brakes see harder use, even though regeneration means the friction brakes are often used lightly. Cars from this maker tend to be solid, so on an EV the focus is confirming warranty and recall status and reading the battery's state of health. None of this is a verdict on your particular car - it is the checklist we bring to it, so a good example earns a clean bill of health and a worn one is caught before you pay.

That's a common case, and exactly what the Digital Report Package is for. We inspect the Kia EV9 on your behalf in Budapest and send a full report with photos and video in English, so you can decide remotely without travelling to see the car yourself. Plenty of our clients buy from another city or country and never go near the car until it's theirs.

The inspection itself is identical - the same checks and the same thoroughness on the Kia EV9. With the Standard Inspection you attend in person and receive a printed report on the spot. With the Digital Report Package you don't need to attend at all, and receive the full report plus photos and video by email. You're really just choosing whether to be there on the day.

Where the seller permits and the car is road-legal and insured, we include a short road test of the Kia EV9. A drive lets us assess the gearbox, steering, brakes and any noises that only appear under load. Some faults simply don't show themselves with the car standing still, which is why we drive it whenever we're allowed to.

Absolutely. used car buying mechanic service and onsite auto check point to the same thing here - an English-speaking car inspector checking the Kia EV9 before you buy. We come to the car anywhere in Budapest and its agglomeration, so you don't have to move it. You receive a clear written verdict in English at the end.
