What we check on the Aiways U5
Every inspection covers the same core systems - engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electronics, body and structure - plus a diagnostic scan and a road test where the seller allows it. On top of that, we tailor the check to the powertrains this model is sold with:
With the electric Aiways U5 we verify the traction battery's condition, test how it charges, inspect the high-voltage hardware and the 12-volt battery, and confirm range behaviour is consistent with the 63 kWh battery.

Aiways U5 inspection - frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the two packages?
The inspection itself is identical - the same checks and the same thoroughness on the Aiways U5. 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.
Do you give an opinion on a fair price?
We don't set formal valuations, but the documented condition of the Aiways U5 gives you solid, factual grounds to judge the asking price and to negotiate. A clear list of what is sound and what needs work turns a vague sense that the car 'seems overpriced' into specific, evidence-backed points you can put to the seller. For an actual market value, pair our findings with the going prices for the same model and specification.
I was looking for mechanic to inspect car before buying Budapest - can you help with that?
Absolutely. mechanic to inspect car before buying Budapest and pre purchase vehicle point to the same thing here - an English-speaking car inspector checking the Aiways U5 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.
If I searched for mechanic to inspect car before buying Budapest, will you also check the Aiways U5's known problem areas?
Most of what matters on a used Aiways U5 is invisible from the driver's seat, which is exactly why we go looking for the faults that tend to surface later. On the electric version almost everything hinges on the traction battery - its state of health and degradation, charging behaviour on AC and DC, thermal management and software or recall status - plus a 12-volt battery that is easy to forget. Being a regular electric road car, the typical wear is in the suspension and tyres and the small cosmetic and electrical niggles that come with daily use, rather than in any engine or gearbox. As a newer marque, this electric model is best judged on its battery health, software and recall status and the strength of local parts and service support, alongside the usual structural and safety checks. By the end you have a clear, written picture of which of these the Aiways U5 has and which it does not, so the decision rests on evidence rather than worry.
How does an on-the-spot Aiways U5 inspection actually work?
You send us the listing and the car's location in Budapest. We arrange a time with the seller, and an English-speaking car inspector comes to the car to carry out a full pre purchase inspection - engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electronics, body and a road test where possible. The whole check usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. You then receive the findings in clear English, either in person or by email.
Can you inspect a car at a dealer, not just a private seller?
Yes. We inspect the Aiways U5 at dealers and private sellers alike across Budapest. A reputable seller won't object to an independent check, and hesitation is itself useful information. Either way, the inspection works for you, not for whoever is selling the car.
