Mitsubishi i-MiEV pre purchase check, on the spot in Budapest

We cross-check the Mitsubishi i-MiEV's service records against visible wear, fluid condition and the diagnostic data. Inconsistencies - like a low odometer paired with a heavily worn interior - are exactly what an inspection is meant to catch. A genuine, well-documented history is one of the strongest signs of a car worth buying.

Yes - book an inspection for each. Plenty of buyers have us assess two shortlisted cars, including the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, before deciding which one to buy. Comparing two written reports side by side is often the clearest way to choose, because you are weighing documented condition rather than two sets of first impressions.

Frequently. A documented list of faults on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV is concrete leverage, and buyers often recover the cost of the inspection many times over in the price they negotiate. And if the car turns out to be sound, you can commit at the asking price with confidence instead of doubt. Either outcome puts you in a stronger position than guessing.

There is no such thing as a faultless used car, and a Mitsubishi i-MiEV is no exception - the key is knowing where the costly problems usually hide. 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. This marque has a strong reliability reputation, so on an electric model the priority is confirming a genuine service record and reading the high-voltage battery's state of health. Nothing here is guesswork: every point is checked on the actual car and written up, in English, so you can act on facts rather than a feeling.

Yes - that's exactly what we do. You can hire an independent mobile mechanic to inspect the Mitsubishi i-MiEV on the spot, with no connection to the seller, so the verdict is genuinely on your side. Because we're paid by you and never by the seller, there's no incentive to downplay a problem. If something is wrong with the car, you hear about it.

Absolutely. on the spot pre purchase car inspection and auto appraiser point to the same thing here - an English-speaking car inspector checking the Mitsubishi i-MiEV 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.
