Platform · Condition Report

One inspection. Every language. Zero translation.

A dealer in Stuttgart appraises a vehicle. The condition report is created in German. Photos, damage markings, repair descriptions, everything documented. A buyer in Rotterdam opens the same report and reads it in Dutch. Not a machine-translated PDF, the same structured data, rendered natively in the reader’s language. This is the B.U.S. Condition Report. And it changes how used cars are sold across European borders.

One report. Read in the buyer’s language.

The report is structured data, not free text. That is why it can be shown in the reader’s language, not the language of the person who wrote it.

Switch language to see how the same report reads for a buyer in another country. Click a category to see the findings.

The condition report gives a detailed description of the car’s condition and gives the buyer greater confidence in the purchase. It is prepared by technically qualified staff after a thorough check and inspection.

The report describes the car’s condition at the time of inspection, taking into account its age and mileage, and the equipment in and on the car.

Sample report with fictitious findings. This is what the buyer sees when the report is sent as a link.

Why this matters in Europe

Cars don’t stay in one country

Millions of used vehicles are traded across European borders every year. A car appraised in Germany is sold in Belgium. The documentation needs to work for everyone in the chain, not just the person who created it.

PDFs don’t translate themselves

Today, most condition reports are static PDFs in one language. Cross-border buyers either ignore them, struggle through them, or ask someone to translate. That’s friction, and friction kills sales.

Structured data vs. free text

The reason B.U.S. can do this isn’t clever translation software. It’s because the condition report is built on structured data, standardised damage descriptions, predefined repair actions, categorised findings, not free-text paragraphs. When the data is structured, rendering it in another language is accurate and instant.

What’s in the report

Photos and damage markings

Every finding documented with photos. Damage marked directly on vehicle diagrams. So the buyer sees where it is, regardless of language.

Descriptions that adapt

"Light scratch on rear bumper, 8 cm, cosmetic only", in German, Dutch, French, or whatever the buyer reads. Same precision, same meaning, different language.

Before and after

When the workshop has repaired items, the report shows the finished state. The buyer sees a vehicle that’s been prepared. Documented visually, no language barrier.

Digital delivery

Delivered as an interactive web page with automatic language detection, and as a downloadable PDF in the reader’s chosen language.

Why it matters, the numbers

Fewer warranty claims

When the buyer fully understands the vehicle’s condition, in their own language, there’s even less room for misunderstanding.

Faster cross-border sales

A vehicle listing with a condition report in the buyer’s language removes the biggest friction point in cross-border trade. No more "I couldn’t read the report, so I didn’t bid."

The standard in Scandinavia

In Norway, three out of four used car transactions include a condition report. B.U.S. brings the same standard to your market, with the added advantage that the report works across every European border.

How it’s created

The condition report is the output of the appraisal process in B.U.S.test. The appraiser works in their own language. Nothing changes in their workflow. The multilingual capability happens at the output layer.

  1. Appraisal

    Inspect the vehicle using checklists, photos and damage drawings, in your language

  2. Requisition

    Send findings to the workshop for repair

  3. Condition report

    Generated automatically, available in every supported language

Who benefits most from multilingual reports

Dealers near borders

If you’re in Aachen, Maastricht, Strasbourg, Basel or any border region, your buyer base is multilingual by default. A report in the buyer’s language is the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.

Importers with cross-border networks

You move vehicles between markets. The condition report follows the car and adapts to wherever it ends up. One inspection, valid documentation in every market.

Auction houses

Vehicles are sold to buyers across Europe. A multilingual condition report means every bidder has the same information, regardless of where they’re based.

Leasing and fleet

Vehicles returned in one country, remarketed in another. The documentation follows the vehicle across borders. Readable by every party in the chain.

Marketplaces

List vehicles with condition reports that adapt to the buyer’s language. International buyers engage more, trust increases, transactions close faster.

Powered by Oscar Inspector. AI that makes the report smarter

The condition report doesn’t just document what the appraiser found. When Oscar Inspector is active, it also shows what the AI predicted, and what the appraiser checked as a result.

How it works together

Oscar Inspector analyses 20 million+ real inspections and flags likely defects for this specific vehicle. The appraiser sees these predictions before the inspection starts. When the condition report is generated, it includes both what was found and what the AI flagged. A Dutch buyer reading a report on a German-inspected BMW sees both layers, in Dutch.

Why this combination is unique

Other systems can produce a report. Other systems can predict defects. B.U.S. is the only platform where the AI informs the inspection, the inspection produces the report, and the report adapts to the buyer’s language. All in one flow.
