Illustrative example This is not a real analysis. It shows what you'll see after sharing an advert, once analysis is connected.
FREE PREVIEW
No score or verdict. Each point says what we saw, why it matters and what to ask for.
Where to look
The gap between the bonnet and the left wing appears wider near the headlight. Look at it closely at the visit, in daylight.
Why it matters: Differences in panel gaps can mean a past repair. It's worth confirming.
+3 main pointsOrdered by what's most worth confirming. In the full check.
What to ask
Could you send me the invoices for the most recent services?
The advert says "serviced at the dealer" but shows no invoices. A claim counts for more with evidence.
+6 questions ready to copyBuilt from the advert, the engine and the mileage.
The car's recordsWith the number plate or VIN: history, inspections and mileage. Coming soon.
What to confirm
From this engine's service schedule. For each point, ask for this car's invoice.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF
No. Compadre helps people buying a used car prepare questions and checks. The advert can come from another website, a private seller or a dealership.
Any of them. We read links from Standvirtual, CustoJusto, Auto SAPO and Auto.pt. For other sites, such as OLX, Facebook Marketplace, PiscaPisca and Spoticar, we'll ask for screenshots and the advert's text. You can also start without an advert, using the plate, the VIN or the car's details.
No. The guide helps you observe and ask questions. An observation or an AI interpretation is not a diagnosis. Check anything you're unsure about with a professional before buying.
You can explore inspection points, prepare a car's details and save a draft in this browser. AI analysis, accounts, payments and reports are not connected yet.
BEFORE YOU BOOK THE VISIT
Start with the advert you already have. We'll help you know what to ask the seller and where to look once you're there.
