Ford · Pre-Purchase Inspection
Independent 150-point check before you buy a used car in Dubai. Priced per Ford model, not per brand.
What follows is what pre-purchase inspection on a Ford specifically involves, what it costs, and what we check while the car is with us.

Every visit includes a battery health test — not a voltage reading, a load test — because a Ford in Dubai is on a two-to-three year battery cycle and the cheapest time to find a failing one is while somebody is already looking at the car. On the start-stop models in this range that also means checking whether the battery has been registered, because an unregistered replacement is being charged to the wrong profile.
Factory paint is a consistent thickness within a narrow band. A repaired panel reads two or three times that, and a filled one reads off the scale. A gauge sweep takes ten minutes and finds accident repair that a good body shop made invisible. It is the single most informative test on a used car in this market.
Cars are imported into and exported out of the UAE constantly, and some arrive with water history. Corrosion under carpets, silt in the spare wheel well, cloudy headlamp interiors and mismatched seat-rail bolts are the tells. Separately, a car that has spent ten years outdoors here has heat-cracked dash plastics, perished bushes and cooked rubber regardless of mileage.
Pick your model for the price and the labour time that apply to your car.
About 90 minutes for the inspection itself, and you get the written report with photographs the same day.
Yes for most of the checks. A full underbody and chassis inspection needs a lift, so if the seller will release the car for an hour we would rather do it properly at the workshop.
There is no pass or fail — there is a report of what the car is and what it will need. What you do with that is your decision, and we will price the work so you know the real number.
Call, or send your location on WhatsApp. We will tell you the price before we set off.
