If there are any cosmetic imperfections we take actions based on the age and mileage of the vehicle and they fall into 3 categories. TYPE A Normal for some cars, depending on mileage and age Type A imperfections involve standard wear associated with normal vehicle usage. The marks are generally faint and often difficult to see. Any scratches are generally less than 3cm in length. Scuffs, stains and discolourations are small. Dents are generally less than 1.5cm in diameter or size. Repair work on these imperfections often includes minor paint touch ups, additional detailing and buffing/polishing. TYPE B Generally re-conditioned before being made available for sale Type B imperfections are minor defects or wear located in higher visibility areas. Scratches can be between 3cm to 10cm in length. Scuffs, stains and discolourations are minor in degree and small in size. Dents are generally about 3cm in diameter and less than 0.5cm deep. Repairs on these imperfections generally include minor paintwork, interior cleaning and general dent repair. TYPE C Vehicle that are older or which have covered higher mileages Type C imperfections include defects or wear that is more noticeable and more significant than standard wear. Scratches may exceed 10cm in length. Scuffs, stains and discolourations are more substantial and may exist in highly visible areas. Dents tend to be greater than 1cm in diameter. Repair on these imperfections can often be minimal because the defect is incapable of being corrected or the cost to do so is excessive. Step 4 - MOT, Servicing, Wheels & Tyre Excellent Condition - Safe & Sound If a service or MOT is due, this will be carried out as part of our preparation process. We make sure that all our cars have a minimum of 6 months MOT certificate and they are serviced (minimum oil and coolant levels) and that the tyres meet safety standards and legal tread depths. The service book or equivalent and the MOT Certificate are available to view at the dealership. Step 5 - Professional Valet & Showroom Inspection Professional Valet - inside & out Every car goes through our professional valeting team and the car is cleaned, hoovered, washed and polished inside and out - including the engine bay and the luggage compartment. The valeting team also keep an eye open for any cosmetic defects which may have not been picked up by any other inspection.
