Used MG 5 EV Inspection — On Site in Budapest
For buyers who cannot tell a healthy MG 5 EV from a well-disguised one, we provide the technical judgement — on site and in writing.

A quick profile of the MG 5 EV: it covers the 2 engine and drivetrain versions we list, plus it uses battery options of 50 and 61 kWh.
An on-site visit lets us check the MG 5 EV in the condition it is actually sold in, not a cleaned-up version of it.
Our MG 5 EV service covers what people look for as auto appraiser and as mechanic on spot Budapest: a thorough pre-purchase inspection before they buy.
Why a pre-purchase inspection matters for the MG 5 EV
You would not buy a flat without a survey. A car costing as much deserves the same scrutiny, and that is precisely what our MG 5 EV inspection provides.
An hour of scrutiny on the MG 5 EV now is cheaper than any of the repairs a hidden fault would hand you later.

EV-specific checks on the MG 5 EV
- Battery state of health. We read the high-voltage battery data to estimate degradation against its original capacity — the single biggest factor in an EV's value.
- DC fast-charge behaviour. Charging performance and any throttling or errors are checked, because a battery that won't fast-charge cleanly is a red flag.
- Software and recalls. Stored fault codes and outstanding software or recall items are checked, as EVs depend heavily on their software.
- Range versus rated. We compare the indicated range and consumption with what the car should deliver to spot a weak pack.
- Thermal management. We look for coolant leaks and stored thermal faults that quietly shorten battery life.
What we check on every car
The MG 5 EV gets the full sweep — body, mechanicals, electronics and a road test:
Bodywork & paint
Panel-by-panel paint-thickness gauge readings to reveal filler, resprays and past accident repairs.
Chassis & structure
Underbody, sills and structural members checked for corrosion, welding and crash damage.
Engine & drivetrain
Cold-start behaviour, fluid condition, leaks, belts and audible faults assessed.
Diagnostics (OBD)
Full electronic fault-code read-out from the on-board systems, live and stored codes.
Electric & hybrid systems
Battery state-of-health indicators, charging behaviour and high-voltage warnings for EVs and hybrids.
Suspension, steering, brakes
Wear, play, leaks, disc and pad condition and tyre health inspected.
Interior & electronics
Equipment, infotainment, climate and electrical functions tested for correct operation.
Road test
A short functional drive to judge gearbox, brakes, steering and running refinement.
Documentation check
VIN match, service history plausibility and odometer cross-check against condition.
Two packages, one inspection
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 MG 5 EV are identical — only your presence and the delivery differ. Compare packages.
MG 5 EV: frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the MG 5 EV cost?
An on-site inspection of the MG 5 EV 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.
What do your inspectors find most often on the MG 5 EV?
Like any car, a used MG 5 EV has places that reward a closer look. Top of the list on this car are battery state of health, DC fast-charge behaviour and software and recalls. Catch them early with a proper inspection and the MG 5 EV can be an excellent purchase — this is the heart of what people want from auto appraiser and mechanic on spot Budapest.
Can you tell whether the MG 5 EV has been in an accident?
We measure paint thickness across every panel and examine the structural areas, seams and fasteners for filler, resprays and signs of straightening or fresh welding. Together these reveal the great majority of accident repairs that a casual viewing would never expose on a MG 5 EV. Where a reading raises a question, we investigate further before drawing any conclusion.
Do you come to wherever the MG 5 EV is parked?
Yes — this is a fully mobile, on-site service. An English-speaking inspector travels to the MG 5 EV whether it sits on a private driveway, a dealer forecourt or a side street, anywhere in Budapest and the towns around it. You never have to drive an unfamiliar car across the city to a workshop just to have it looked at.
What happens after you have inspected the MG 5 EV?
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 MG 5 EV is entirely yours, made on evidence rather than assumption.
Can you inspect the MG 5 EV if I cannot be there in person?
That is exactly what the Digital Inspection Package (39,999 Ft) is built for. We attend the MG 5 EV 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 auto appraiser — is that what you do for the MG 5 EV?
Yes. Auto appraiser is simply another way of describing what we do for the MG 5 EV: 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 test drive, and that is the very same service.
Do you offer mechanic on spot Budapest when buying the MG 5 EV?
We do. For the MG 5 EV, mechanic on spot 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 onsite auto evaluation before buying — independent, documented and yours to act on.
