Professional On-Site Pre-Purchase Car Inspections in Mijas
Mijas is unlike any other municipality on the Costa del Sol. Stretching from the whitewashed hilltop village of Mijas Pueblo — with its winding mountain roads, panoramic sea views, and traditional Spanish character — down to the long coastal strip of Mijas Costa, this is one of the region’s most diverse and populated areas for expat buyers.
The used car market in Mijas reflects this diversity. Buyers in Mijas Pueblo and the surrounding hillside urbanisations tend to prioritise reliable vehicles capable of handling steep, narrow mountain roads. Buyers in Mijas Costa, La Cala de Mijas, and Calahonda are typically looking for practical everyday cars — family hatchbacks, compact SUVs, and reliable runabouts suited to coastal living.
AutoGuard Spain provides professional pre-purchase car inspections across the entire Mijas municipality. We come directly to the vehicle — whether it’s at a dealership in Las Lagunas, a private home in Calahonda, a villa in the hills above Mijas Pueblo, or a beachfront apartment in El Faro — and deliver a thorough, unbiased assessment before you commit.
Our mobile service covers the full Mijas area: Mijas Pueblo, Mijas Costa, La Cala de Mijas, Calahonda, Las Lagunas, El Faro, Sitio de Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, Torrenueva, and all urbanisations and golf communities in between. Wherever the car is located, we come to you.

Why Us
Why choose AutoGuard Spain in Mijas?
Mijas’s combination of mountain terrain and coastal location creates vehicle wear conditions that are genuinely unique on the Costa del Sol. Cars regularly driven on the steep, winding roads between Mijas Pueblo and the coast show accelerated wear on braking systems, clutches, and tyres compared to vehicles used on flat coastal routes. At the same time, proximity to the sea means coastal corrosion affects any vehicle kept near the seafront in Mijas Costa, El Faro, or Calahonda — often invisibly, until a proper inspection reveals the damage.
AutoGuard Spain is 100% independent. We have no ties to any dealership, seller, or workshop in Mijas or anywhere on the Costa del Sol. We are paid only by you, the buyer, and our only goal is to give you an honest, accurate picture of the vehicle’s true condition before you spend your money.
The Mijas market also attracts a very specific buyer profile: second-home owners and expats purchasing at a distance, often without the opportunity for a proper test drive on the mountain roads their new car will actually use every day. A vehicle that performs adequately on a flat coastal test drive can reveal very different characteristics on the steep hairpin bends above Mijas Pueblo — and those differences have a direct impact on both safety and running costs.
Mijas is also home to several large golf communities — La Cala Golf, Calanova Golf, and Mijas Golf — where prestige and semi-prestige vehicles change hands regularly. These carry the same risks of undisclosed damage, outstanding finance, and DGT complications as any high-value used car purchase.
Our inspectors check for all of this. We identify structural damage hidden beneath fresh paintwork, run full OBD diagnostic scans covering engine, transmission, and electrical systems, verify mileage plausibility through service records, and carry out DGT checks to confirm there are no outstanding finance debts, legal embargos, or ownership complications attached to the vehicle.
You don’t need to be present. We arrange access with the seller directly, carry out the full inspection, and deliver a clear written report within 24 hours — with a straightforward recommendation: buy, negotiate, or walk away.
Whether you’re buying a rugged SUV for the mountain roads above Mijas Pueblo or a practical runabout for La Cala de Mijas, AutoGuard Spain gives you the protection you need before you commit.
