Pre-Purchase Inspection for the Ford Ka+
We act only for the buyer. When you ask us to look at a Ford Ka+, our loyalty is to your wallet, not to the person selling the car.

We tailor the Ford Ka+ check to its make-up — it spans engine sizes of 1196–1499 cm³ and covers the 3 engine and drivetrain versions we list.
Our inspector arrives prepared for this exact Ford Ka+, knowing its weak spots before the bonnet is even opened.
The Ford Ka+ you are considering gets the kind of inspection buyers have in mind when they look for vehicle inspection Budapest or on the spot pre purchase car inspection Budapest.
Why a pre-purchase inspection matters for the Ford Ka+
A clean service book is reassuring but not proof. Cross-checking the Ford Ka+'s actual condition against its paperwork is where an inspection earns its keep.
The faults that hurt Ford Ka+ buyers most are the ones a viewing cannot surface, and an inspection is built to find exactly those.

Where a petrol Ford Ka+ tends to need attention
- Timing chain or belt. We listen for chain rattle on start-up and check belt service history, because a skipped interval here is one of the most expensive engine faults to put right.
- Cold-start behaviour. A genuine cold start reveals knocks, smoke and rough running that a warmed-up engine hides.
- Oil consumption. We check oil level and condition and ask the right questions about top-ups, since heavy consumption points to worn rings or seals.
- Cooling system. Water pump, thermostat and coolant condition are inspected for leaks and overheating risk.
- Turbocharger health. On turbo engines we watch boost behaviour, smoke on load and any whine or shaft play that hints at a tiring turbo.

The 35,999 Ft Standard package has you present with a printed report on the spot; the 39,999 Ft Digital is for when you cannot attend, with the full report, photos and video sent by email. The checks on your Ford Ka+ are identical — only your presence and the delivery differ. Compare packages.
Ford Ka+: frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the Ford Ka+ cost?
An on-site inspection of the Ford Ka+ starts at 35,999 Ft for the Standard package, where you attend in person and we go through the findings with you at the car. The Digital Inspection Package costs 39,999 Ft and is carried out without you there, with the results sent as photographs, video and a written report by email. The inspection itself is identical in both, the call-out fee within Budapest is included, and there are no hidden extras.
Are there typical faults I should look for on the Ford Ka+?
Most Ford Ka+ examples are fine, but a few specific areas are worth checking before you commit. The usual suspects on a used Ford Ka+ are timing chain or belt, cold-start behaviour and oil consumption. These are the reasons an independent inspection pays off on the Ford Ka+, whether you came looking for vehicle inspection Budapest or on the spot pre purchase car inspection Budapest.
Do you inspect both private and dealer Ford Ka+ sales?
Yes. Whether the Ford Ka+ is a private sale or sitting on a dealer's forecourt, we apply the same independent, on-the-spot inspection. The emphasis shifts a little — toward history and consistency on a private car, and toward what showroom preparation might be hiding on a dealer car — but the standard we hold it to is identical.
What exactly do you check on a used Ford Ka+?
We go right through the car: paint thickness panel by panel, the structure and underbody for corrosion or past repairs, the engine or battery and the drivetrain, full on-board diagnostics with live data, the suspension, steering and brakes, the interior and electronics, and a short road test. Across the petrol and diesel versions of the Ford Ka+, the checklist is adapted to the exact car you are buying. Whatever we find, you get the facts in writing and the decision stays yours.
What happens after you have inspected the Ford Ka+?
You receive your English report — handed to you at the car with the Standard package, or by email with photos and video under the Digital Inspection Package. It sets out every finding, graded by how much it should concern you, with a plain recommendation. From there the decision on the Ford Ka+ is entirely yours, made on evidence rather than assumption.
Can you inspect the Ford Ka+ if I cannot be there in person?
That is exactly what the Digital Inspection Package (39,999 Ft) is built for. We attend the Ford Ka+ on your behalf, carry out the complete inspection, and send you a detailed report with clear photographs and short video clips by email. It is the natural choice if you are buying from abroad, live in another city, or simply cannot make the viewing in person.
People search for vehicle inspection Budapest — is that what you do for the Ford Ka+?
Yes. Vehicle inspection Budapest is simply another way of describing what we do for the Ford Ka+: an independent, on-site inspection before you buy. Our inspector comes to the car, works through the full checklist and the diagnostics, and explains every finding in English. Plenty of buyers also look for car inspection, and that is the very same service.
Do you offer on the spot pre purchase car inspection Budapest when buying the Ford Ka+?
We do. For the Ford Ka+, on the spot pre purchase car inspection Budapest means a complete, on-the-spot pre-purchase inspection carried out wherever the car is parked in Budapest, with the result reported in English. It is the same thorough check buyers have in mind when they search for check used car condition on spot — independent, documented and yours to act on.
