Grrrrr
The bloke as Jay correctly says was an absolute muppet, Ray (the new buyer) was relieved of £250 for this guy to check all the bits work, check levels and take it up the road (which i insisted on going with him)
His report as expected found 3 minimal things that made me laugh in his face.....
one of the headlight washers is incorrectly adjusted, no tyre weld in the boot and slightly low power steering fluid... so i said well that makes the car a right off then......

Why are you laughing in his face and criticizing him for carrying out his job and producing a condition report on the vehicle? If you had commissioned the report for a vehicle you were considering buying would you not expect the same attention to detail?

It was not you money though!
Because what these guys do is make things like these little issues sound vitally serious to the naive customer, who then pulls out of buying the car.
The customer feels they have been saved from a dodgy car and think they spent good money on the inspection.
Remember only people who know very little about cars will use these inspections, a lot of the time customers cannot decipher the results and the companies doing them have to cover their backs...
I can just imagine the conversation... "Well I have looked over this vehicle and whilst it is in very good condition for its age, I have found three potentially serious faults.... I mean if you were to have a breakdown on the M1 and there was no sticky goo around, you could possibly be run over by a polish truck driver and then your family would be devastated and the world would end.
You could be driving in poor visibilty and should the headlamp washers fail to wash the glass in an efficient manner, you could easily hit an unsuspecting tree and again the world would end. "
Arrrrr, I hate them...
That said there are a few good ones around.
If you had commissioned the report for a vehicle you were considering buying would you not expect the same attention to detail?
maybe because a local garage would have done the same for 1hr labour charge.
