Independent Pre-Purchase Car Inspections Across the Costa Blanca
- 100% independent · Mobile service · DGT verification · OBD diagnostics
Buying a used car on the Costa Blanca can be risky without an expert on your side. AutoGuard Spain provides independent, mobile pre-purchase car inspections across the Costa Blanca — including mechanical checks, OBD diagnostics, accident damage assessment, mileage plausibility and DGT paperwork verification — giving you clear, honest advice before you commit, with inspections from €149.
The Costa Blanca pre-purchase inspection you can trust
The Costa Blanca attracts a wide mix of used-car buyers: expats relocating to Spain, second-home owners needing a reliable runabout, retirees looking for peace of mind, and private buyers trying to avoid expensive mistakes. From Alicante and Torrevieja in the south to Jávea and Dénia in the north, many purchases are made quickly, remotely, or under pressure — often by buyers unfamiliar with the Spanish used-car market or the DGT paperwork system. That creates the perfect conditions for hidden problems to slip through.
AutoGuard Spain helps protect buyers before money changes hands. We provide independent, on-site inspections at dealerships, private homes, apartment complexes and seller locations across the Costa Blanca. Whether you’re buying in Alicante, Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, Benidorm, Calpe, Altea, Jávea or Dénia, we give you an honest assessment of the vehicle’s real condition.
Many Costa Blanca vehicles also come with a specific set of risks: imported history, incomplete service records, long periods parked near the sea, cosmetic repairs hiding past damage, or legal issues that buyers only discover after purchase. Our job is simple: help you understand exactly what you are buying before you commit, so you can move forward with confidence — or walk away before making an expensive mistake.

Why Us
Why choose AutoGuard Spain for your Costa Blanca inspection
Buying a used car on the Costa Blanca comes with risks that are easy to underestimate. Coastal exposure can accelerate corrosion in underbody components, suspension parts, brakes and electrical connections, especially in vehicles that have spent years close to the sea. Strong sun and heat can also degrade paint, rubber seals, trim and interior materials. On top of that, the region’s high number of international buyers and mixed vehicle stock means many cars have complicated backgrounds, patchy paperwork, or histories that are not immediately obvious from a casual viewing.
That is exactly where AutoGuard Spain steps in. We are 100% independent. We do not sell cars, represent dealers, or work to please the seller. We work for you, the buyer, and our only goal is to give you a clear and accurate picture of the vehicle’s true condition before you hand over your money.
Our inspections are designed to uncover the problems that buyers most want to avoid. We assess mechanical condition, look for signs of accident damage or poor repairs, run full OBD diagnostics to identify hidden fault codes, and check whether the mileage is plausible based on the vehicle’s condition and service history. We also carry out DGT-related checks to help confirm there are no outstanding finance debts, legal embargos, ownership disputes or paperwork irregularities attached to the vehicle.
The Costa Blanca is also a market where many people buy at a distance. Some are flying in for a weekend, some are purchasing for a second home, and others are trying to sort a car soon after arriving in Spain. In those situations, it is not always practical to inspect the car properly yourself. We can arrange access directly with the seller, inspect the vehicle on site, and provide a clear written report within 24 hours with a straightforward recommendation: buy, negotiate, or walk away.
Whether you are buying a practical hatchback in Alicante, a coastal runabout in Torrevieja, a premium SUV in Jávea, or a family car in Dénia, AutoGuard Spain gives you honest, professional, independent advice before you commit.
