An independent bumper-to-bumper inspection across 6 systems - body, engine bay, electrics, suspension, underside and a road test - plus a full computerised diagnostic scan.
Honest car reviews, practical maintenance advice and inspections filmed start to finish.
Only vehicles we have physically inspected are listed here, and every one arrives with its report attached. No guesswork, no seller’s word for it.
Most people buy a used car on a test drive and a good feeling. We give you more than that. Every fault we find is written down and photographed. Take that list to the seller and you have room to negotiate. On the wrong car, you have a reason to walk away before you pay anything.
Honest reviews, practical maintenance advice and inspections filmed start to finish. Nothing here is staged.

What to check yourself
Only cars we have physically inspected appear here - each one ships with a downloadable report.
Every line in a 4Real report is backed by a photograph, a diagnostic reading or a road test. If we cannot show it, we do not write it. The channel runs on the same rule. Car reviews, car care advice and inspection footage, drawn from work we have actually done.
One inspection costs a fraction of one hidden fault.
