Vehicle appraisal for the UK motor trade
For UK auction groups and dealer groups

NAMA-graded condition reports from a one-minute phone video.

Deductions cite the frame they were seen in, so a disputed grade is settled with a still, not an argument. BVRLA fair wear and tear verdicts and priced damage in the same report.

Installable on any phone, no app store. Results in minutes, not seconds.

Evidence, not opinion

The appraisal that shows its work.

A finding is a location, a measurement, a rule and a still from the walkaround, kept with the report. When a figure is questioned, you open the frame rather than defend a memory.

How these figures are worked outA working year is 260 days less 33 for holiday, sickness and training, at 7.5 paid hours a day, of which 85% is productive time. Salaries carry 28% employer on-costs on top.Every appraisal carries £1.50 for cameras, consumables and supervision, whichever way it is done.Excluded: third-party identity and valuation lookups, which are charged at cost either way, and any value from better grading or shorter time to market.The figures are yours, not ours. They are as good as the minutes and salaries you put in.
