In order to make a vehicle inspection, we require you to provide us with the most relevant data about the vehicle and its location. Before placing the order, please make sure that you can provide the following information:

• The vehicle's ​brand and model
• Vehicle's number, order's number or code
• If possible, a link to an advertisement
• Estimated price (is always the Brutto- selling price in the ad / on the vehicle) of the vehicle in euros
• Power in kW
• Fuel type
• Year in which the vehicle was first registered
• Mileage in km
• Information about the vehicle owner/seller ( name of the contact person, address, contact details)

You also have the possibility to add individual notes and comments..

Furthermore, it is helpful for an efficient process if you obtain the provider's permission in advance and clarify whether a lifting platform can be used on location and whether a test drive can be performed. If possible, you should have the vehicle reserved..

For insurance reasons, our prices are scaled according to the value of the vehicle. This means that the more expensive the vehicle to be inspected, the higher the price of the appraisal. Therefore, it is important to know the estimated value (is always the Brutto- selling price in the ad / on the vehicle) of the vehicle before commissioning in order to book the right price category.

Furthermore, we have also included a subdivision according to the age of the car. Experience has shown that the appraisal of older vehicles requires more time and usually more photos, as they have more defects/damage compared to a recently used vehicle.

If it was found out after the booking that the vehicle is in a different price category, this will involve a rebooking or withdrawal of the order, which may lead you to longer processing times and unnecessary fees.Therefore, be sure to select the correct price category before placing the order!

The limit for our standardized appraisals depends on the estimated value (is always the Brutto- selling price in the ad / on the vehicle) and varies depending on the type of vehicle. If you would like an appraisal for a vehicle that exceeds the particular upper limit , please submit a request via our online request form.

If you order a motor vehicle appraisal at diepruefer.de, you have the option of payment in advance (bank transfer).

The processing of the orders will only be started after confirmation of the receipt of payment by the credit institutions. In order to enable fast processing, orders are released for processing by us upon receipt of a confirmation of payment. Without confirmation of payment, orders remain on hold until confirmation of receipt of payment by our house bank. To ensure fast processing of your order and to avoid unnecessary waiting times, we therefore ask you to send us a remittance confirmation.

• you need a vehicle valuation for submission to the tax office
