2. Inspection summary & scores
8 photos analyzed · All 8 photos usable
AI confidence: 85%
The car drives well, but the numbers don't add up: the displayed 96,000 km clashes with the wear (pedals, seat, steering wheel) and with a service invoice showing a higher reading two years ago. This is a classic mileage rollback. Even a mechanically healthy car becomes a serious risk when the odometer is falsified — verify the history before anything else.
3. Negotiation arguments
Fair reduction to argue for
850 € – 1 000 €
Suggested target price
10 990 € – 11 140 €
Asking price: 11 990 €
We found 5 concrete, evidence-based reasons to negotiate — together worth 850 €–1 000 € off the asking price.
Mechanical point needing attention — Maintenance records
The "Maintenance records" check raised a concern — budget for diagnosis/repair and negotiate accordingly.
Priced above market value
Your asking price is about 990 € 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
- Odometer fraud suspected — walk away, or only proceed once the true mileage is documented in writing, repriced accordingly.
- Report concerns; a falsified odometer affects safety and resale.
Ready-to-send message
“Thanks for the details. Based on a full CarGuard AI inspection, I'd like to offer 10 990 €. Mainly because of: mechanical point needing attention — maintenance records; priced above market value; incomplete service history. 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.

Engine sounds healthy — but a healthy engine does not offset a falsified odometer.
