Tesla Model S: Independent Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Whether the Tesla Model S is a private sale or a dealer car, we give it the same independent, on-the-spot scrutiny and write up what we find in English.

Our Tesla Model S inspection starts from the basics: it was built from 2012 onward and covers the listed configuration.
Nothing on the Tesla Model S is waved through; every system is checked, and what we find is graded and explained in English.
For anyone after pre purchase inspection or mobile mechanic to check engine light, the Tesla Model S gets the same careful, on-the-spot inspection explained in plain English.
Why a pre-purchase inspection matters for the Tesla Model S
A clean service book is reassuring but not proof. Cross-checking the Tesla Model S's actual condition against its paperwork is where an inspection earns its keep.
Every fault we surface on the Tesla Model S before the sale is one you are not paying to discover after it.

What we focus on with the electric Tesla Model S
- 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.
- Charging port and onboard charger. The port, cables and AC charging are tested for reliable, fault-free operation.
- Thermal management. We look for coolant leaks and stored thermal faults that quietly shorten battery life.

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 Tesla Model S are identical — only your presence and the delivery differ. Compare packages.
Tesla Model S: frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the Tesla Model S cost?
An on-site inspection of the Tesla Model S 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 tends to go wrong on a high-mileage Tesla Model S?
There are a few things that tend to need attention on a used Tesla Model S. The areas that come up most often are DC fast-charge behaviour, software and recalls and range versus rated. Catch them early with a proper inspection and the Tesla Model S can be an excellent purchase — this is the heart of what people want from pre purchase inspection and mobile mechanic to check engine light.
What happens after you have inspected the Tesla Model S?
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 Tesla Model S is entirely yours, made on evidence rather than assumption.
How long does an inspection of the Tesla Model S take?
A typical Tesla Model S inspection takes roughly one to one-and-a-half hours at the car, though a complex or high-mileage example can take longer. We work to a fixed checklist of more than 500 points and never hurry a car along to reach the next appointment. In most cases you will have the verdict the same day.
Can a Tesla Model S inspection help me negotiate the price?
Frequently, yes. Documented findings — measured paint readings, diagnostic results, worn parts and their likely repair cost — give you concrete, fair grounds to ask for a lower price on the Tesla Model S, or a clear reason to walk away. Buyers often save more than the cost of the inspection on the very first car they have checked.
Do you inspect both private and dealer Tesla Model S sales?
Yes. Whether the Tesla Model S 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.
People search for pre purchase inspection — is that what you do for the Tesla Model S?
Yes. Pre purchase inspection is simply another way of describing what we do for the Tesla Model S: 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 onsite mechanic Budapest, and that is the very same service.
Do you offer mobile mechanic to check engine light when buying the Tesla Model S?
We do. For the Tesla Model S, mobile mechanic to check engine light 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 hire mechanic for pre purchase inspection Budapest — independent, documented and yours to act on.
