Let’s be real, buying a used car in the UAE is risky business. You find a polished SUV in Al Quoz or a sharp-looking sedan in Deira, and under those bright showroom lights, the thing looks absolutely flawless. But what’s hiding under the hood? A rolled-back odometer? A stitched-up chassis from a major accident? Or maybe a gearbox that’s days away from failure.
You aren’t just buying a car; you are buying the previous owner’s maintenance habits.
This guide cuts through the noise to tell you exactly what you should pay for a proper inspection in 2026 and why a quick “kick the tires” test isn’t enough to protect your wallet.

If you are asking, “What is the price of a car inspection in Dubai?” The answer depends on who you ask. The market average usually sits between AED 350 and AED 600. However, paying more doesn’t always mean you get a better look at the car.

At Car Inspection Dubai, we believe in transparent pricing that makes sense for your budget. We don’t hide fees. We offer two straightforward tiers designed to give you total peace of mind without breaking the bank.
- Standard Plan (AED 299): This isn’t your basic visual check. We cover the essentials—engine health, fluid levels, and road testing—to make sure the car is safe to drive.
- Comprehensive Plan (AED 399): This is the deep dive. We look at everything. If there is a hidden scratch, a fault code in the computer, or a suspicious noise in the suspension, we find it.
Most inspection services in the UAE offer a 120-point or maybe a 170-point check. That sounds like a lot until you realize a modern car has thousands of parts.
We do things differently. Car Inspection Dubai provides a massive 600-point inspection.
You might wonder if 600 points is overkill. It isn’t. When we say we check everything, we mean we are testing every button, every window motor, the paint depth on every panel (to spot accident repairs), and the health of individual sensors. We strip away the polish to show you the raw reality of the vehicle.
If a dealer tells you the car is “accident-free,” our 600-point check is the only way to verify that claim scientifically. We use paint depth gauges to find body filler that the naked eye can’t see.
Dragging a car to a garage is a hassle. The seller is busy, you are working, and traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road is unpredictable.
We solved this by making our service fully mobile. You don’t come to us; we come to the car. Whether the vehicle is parked at the seller’s villa in Jumeirah, a used car lot in Ras Al Khor, or an office in Business Bay, our team arrives equipped with all the necessary diagnostic tools.
- Book Online: You choose between Standard (AED 299) and Comprehensive (AED 399).
- We Dispatch: Our technician makes his way to the site. We Examine: A thorough 600-point analysis is carried out.
- You Choose: You receive an instantaneous comprehensive digital report.
Many buyers make the mistake of thinking the RTA (Tasjeel) registration test is a pre-purchase inspection. It is not.
The RTA test is a safety check. It ensures the car won’t fall apart on the highway and that it meets emissions standards. It does not tell you if the air conditioning compressor is about to die, if the transmission is slipping, or if the car requires AED 5,000 in immediate repairs.
The RTA test is for the government. Our inspection is for you.
Buying a car is the second biggest purchase most people make. Don’t let a shiny paint job fool you into buying a money pit.
With Car Inspection Dubai, you aren’t just paying for a checklist; you are buying leverage. Our AED 399 Comprehensive Plan often helps buyers negotiate thousands of dirhams off the asking price by revealing issues the seller didn’t mention.

Ideally, yes. They need to provide the keys and permission for us to inspect the car. However, if you (the buyer) cannot make it, that’s fine. We will send the digital report directly to your phone.
Because we are thorough, expect the inspection to take between 60 and 90 minutes. We don't rush. A hurried inspection is a missed problem.
Yes. From Dubai Marina to Silicon Oasis, our team covers the entire city.
Absolutely. We cross-reference the wear and tear on the vehicle (pedals, steering wheel, engine hours) against the mileage displayed. If the numbers don't add up, we will flag it in the report.
