Audi Pre-Purchase Inspection Dubai

Buying a used Audi? Don't let a dream car turn into a financial nightmare.

Is That "Clean" Audi Actually a Ticking Time Bomb?

Audi makes incredible machines. But they are complex. A used Audi A6 or Q7 might look perfect on the outside, but underneath, it could be hiding thousands of Dirhams in repairs.

A standard "quick check" isn't enough. Audis suffer from specific issues like oil consumption, DSG gearbox failures, and air suspension leaks.

We don't just "look" at the car. We are Audi Specialists. We use dealer-level computers and trained eyes to tell you the true condition of the vehicle before you hand over your cash.

Audi Inspection

Why the RTA Test is Not Enough

Many buyers think, "The car passed the RTA test, so it's fine." This is a dangerous mistake.

What Our Audi Inspection Covers

We cover 150+ points, but here are the critical areas we focus on for Audis:

Diagnostics

Computer Diagnostics (VCDS / ODIS)

We plug into the car's brain. We check for "cleared codes" (errors the seller tried to hide), verify the mileage in the transmission module (to spot odometer fraud), and check the health of electronic modules.

Gearbox

DSG Gearbox & Mechatronic Unit

The gearbox is the most expensive part of an Audi. We test for rough shifting, delayed engagement, and clutch wear to ensure the "Mechatronic" unit isn't failing.

Engine

Engine & Turbo Health

We look for the notorious Audi oil leaks (valve covers, rear main seal). We check the turbo for boost pressure and strange noises. We also check for coolant leaks which can ruin the engine.

Underbody

The "Under-Body" Check

We lift the car to check control arms, bushings, and air suspension struts. These are common failure points on models like the Q7 and A8.

The "Import" Warning: GCC vs. American Specs

The Dubai market is flooded with "American Spec" or "Japanese Import" Audis.

  • The Risk: Many of these were salvaged (crashed or flooded) in their home country, repaired cheaply, and shipped to UAE.
  • Our Check: We look for signs of major accident repair, repainted panels, and water damage that indicates a flood car. We tell you if the car is truly "Accident-Free."

Sedans

A3, A4, A5, A6, A8

SUVs

Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8

Sport & RS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. On Audis, it is easy to roll back the dashboard mileage. However, the true mileage is often stored in the Gearbox or ABS module. We scan these to see if they match.

Yes. We have a mobile inspection unit. We can meet the seller at their home, office, or a used car dealership in Dubai, Sharjah, or Abu Dhabi.

Yes. If we find faults (like worn brakes or an oil leak), we provide an estimated cost to fix them. You can use this report to negotiate a better price with the seller.
