Carvioo Certified

Most cars we are offered never make it onto the site

The ones that do have been through three stages, run by our own mechanics, in our own shop. Nothing is signed off by the person who bought the car.

172 points · 3 road tests · 0 cars listed without passing Sample content · figures are illustrative
Step 1 — Inspected

Six mechanics, one list, no exceptions

Every car is stripped back and checked against the same 172-point list, in the same order, whoever it belonged to.

  • 172points checked, mechanical, structural and cosmetic
  • 3road tests: cold start, highway, and a braking loop
  • 0points signed off by whoever bought the car

Step 2 — Serviced

We fix it before we price it

Anything the inspection flags is repaired with parts we would fit to our own cars. The work is finished before the car is valued, so the price you see is not a price with a caveat attached.

  • Newbrakes and tyres below 5mm, every time
  • Fullservice and fluid change regardless of history
  • Namedthe mechanic who signed it off is on the record

Step 3 — Listed

Carvioo Certified

Only after passing every stage does a car earn the badge and go on the site. If it fails, it goes to auction. It does not get listed with a note.
