A full CarGuard AI report — bodywork, engine, history, mileage and market value — built from a buyer's photos and checks.
This is a fictional example for illustration. Your report is generated from your own car's photos and checks.

2. Inspection summary & scores
8 photos analyzed · All 8 photos usable
AI confidence: 80%
No oil/coolant mixing signs, but the temperature climbs above normal in slow traffic and the coolant level is low — pointing to the cooling system itself (water pump, thermostat, radiator or fan). Left unchecked, overheating can destroy the engine. Have the cooling system pressure-tested before buying.
3. Negotiation arguments
Fair reduction to argue for
722 € – 1 000 €
Suggested target price
3 990 € – 4 268 €
Asking price: 4 990 €
We found 6 concrete, evidence-based reasons to negotiate — together worth 722 €–1 000 € off the asking price.
Mechanical point needing attention — Engine temperature
The "Engine temperature" check raised a concern — budget for diagnosis/repair and negotiate accordingly.
Mechanical point needing attention — Coolant reservoir
The "Coolant reservoir" check raised a concern — budget for diagnosis/repair and negotiate accordingly.
Priced above market value
Your asking price is about 290 € above our fair-value estimate for this age and mileage.
Incomplete service history
Key documents (full service history) are missing — incomplete records justify a lower price.
Wear & consumables provision
Tyres, brakes and other consumables wear with age and mileage — provision for the next replacements.
Upcoming routine service
Build in the cost of the next routine service so it isn't a surprise after purchase.
More points from the inspection
- Pending cooling repair — quote pump/thermostat/radiator and deduct it.
- Anchor low; overheating risk is serious.
Ready-to-send message
“Thanks for the details. Based on a full CarGuard AI inspection, I'd like to offer 3 990 €. Mainly because of: mechanical point needing attention — engine temperature; mechanical point needing attention — coolant reservoir; priced above market value. I'm a serious buyer and ready to move quickly at a fair price.”
Estimated reductions are indicative ranges to support your negotiation, not formal repair quotes. Use the inspection findings as your evidence.
4. Positive points
- Tidy small car, honest body.
- Oil and oil cap look clean (no mayonnaise).
5. Points to verify
- Temperature rises above normal in slow traffic.
- Coolant level low.
- Possible water pump / thermostat / fan fault.
- Risk of engine damage if it overheats.
6. Photo-by-photo analysis
- Bumper, grille and badges aligned and consistent.
- Tailgate gaps even on both sides.
- Door gaps consistent; uniform paint reflection.
- No tone mismatch along the body line.
- Panel gaps consistent around the front-left corner.
- Fender and door alignment normal.
- Bumper-to-quarter gap even.
- Reflector seated correctly; no overspray.
7. Questions to ask the seller
- Does it overheat in traffic or on the motorway?
- When was the coolant last changed / topped up?
- Has the water pump or thermostat been replaced?
- Does the cooling fan kick in?
9. Recommended next steps
- Pressure-test the cooling system and check the fan operation.
- Inspect the water pump and thermostat.
Engine Start Audio Analysis
File: engine-start.m4a
Engine sound is normal — the concern is the temperature behaviour and low coolant, not the engine noise.
Detected sounds
Engine sound is normal — the concern is the temperature behaviour and low coolant, not the engine noise.
The startup sound appears normal in the provided audio. No obvious suspicious noise was detected. This does not guarantee engine condition.

- When was the coolant last changed / topped up?
This report is AI-generated from the supplied photos and checks. It is a preliminary screening tool and does not replace a professional inspection. Fictional example for illustration.
11. Engine & Mechanical Check
Temperature rises above normal at low speed with a low coolant level — a cooling-system fault that risks the engine.
Runs hot at low speed.
Low coolant — find where it goes.
Several findings may suggest a mechanical issue. A professional mechanic inspection is recommended before purchase.
