CPO inspection service ensures a good purchase and peace of mind

CPO (Certified Pre-Owned car) is a new service trend formed in the European and North American markets over the last ten-odd years. Among the biggest worries that concern buyers of used cars: "Has the car owner told the truth about the car's condition?"; "Is the price reasonable?"; and "What are the potential maintenance costs and risks?" According to the findings of a pre-owned car market survey by J.D Power in 2006, consumers are willing to pay an average US$1,680 extra for a certified pre-owned car over a non-certified counterpart. TÜV Rheinland has more than a century’s experience in certification and testing, and our CPO inspection services are based on vehicle-inspection know-how directly imported from Europe. Consumers in Taiwan can enjoy extra peace of mind when purchasing a "TÜV Rheinland Taiwan Inspected" vehicle.

Consumers can benefit from our independent, third-party inspection from the following perspectives:

Safety

Safety is our top priority when inspecting a vehicle's condition. Through our car-condition reports, buyers and sellers are able to acquire exact knowledge of a car's condition. Information on such key items as brakes, tires, and vehicle structure is of great reference value, as these are closely related to driving safety.

Trustworthiness

In most pre-owned car deals, buyers and sellers are previously unknown to each other. An inspection report from a third-party certification body can effectively reduce doubts between the two parties and improve the chances of a successful deal.

Reliability

TÜV Rheinland is entrusted by the German government with vehicle inspection and certification in Germany. With our seasoned experience and well-trained local engineers, the result is reliable vehicle-inspection reports that can be trusted by buyers and sellers alike.

Objectivity and transparency

TÜV Rheinland is an independent certification body well trusted by consumers in Europe, offering inspection and certification services with an unbiased point of view. With more than 168 inspection criteria, a TÜV Rheinland-issued inspection report provides a faithful reflection of a vehicle's condition, and therefore makes for a valuable reference for both buyer and seller.
