Common Hidden Problems We Catch in Dubai (Before You Buy)
Cars that scan “clean” but show low-voltage or intermittent module faults
Water damage signs that cause future electrical nightmares
Oil leaks that look minor but become costly (gaskets, housings, seepage patterns)
Gearbox behavior that feels “ok” at first but shows delay/jerk under proper test
Suspensions that pass visually but fail under road test (noise, vibration, instability)
How Long It Takes & Where We Inspect
Most BMW PPI inspections take 60–120 minutes, depending on model and access.
Inspection can be arranged at our location or at the seller’s location (subject to approval and working conditions).
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a quick scan?
A quick scan can miss real-world issues. Our PPI combines ISTA diagnostics + physical checks + road behavior to identify expensive risks.
Can you do the inspection at the seller’s location?
Yes, when conditions allow. Share the location and VIN first.
Do you provide a written report?
Yes—clear summary, risk level, and recommended actions.
Will you tell me if the car is worth buying?
We give a technical risk-based decision: safe, negotiate, or avoid—based on inspection results.
Does PPI include checking every single part?
No inspection can guarantee every hidden defect, but we focus on the high-cost failure areas and warning patterns that matter most.
Do you check mileage tampering?
We look for diagnostic inconsistencies and red flags, but mileage verification can be limited without full history access.
Do you inspect modified/tuned BMWs?
Yes. Tuned vehicles require extra caution; we note risks and visible/diagnostic signs.
What do you need from me to start?
VIN (17 digits), model/year, location, and whether test drive is permitted.
BMW pre purchase inspection Dubai is the safest way to avoid hidden engine, gearbox, suspension, or electronic problems before you pay. In Dubai, many BMWs look clean on the outside but may have leaks, overheating history, accident repairs, or pending fault codes. MBCOD performs a professional pre-purchase check with real diagnostics and a clear report so you can negotiate the price or walk away confidently.
